Cigarettes were more of a problem for me, later on. That must be why I unconsciously took up the habit of not shaving myself for periods at a time, so I could look older and buy the damn ciggies.
Don't know where you're from, but here in Austria cigarettes and booze are legal, once you're 16. Nowadays that's also the voting age. But that's a rather new development.
Yeah, I know you guys are 'crazy' like that. You've got age of consent at 14. But I think those developments are great. I, for one, have been the thinking individual I am right now since I was only 13-14 years old. I haven't changed a bit, at least not profoundly so- intellectually, that is.
TBH, I've lived in Vienna for a month, and I found the whole experience quite ecstatic. I wrote my best stuff during that phase(and then went and deleted it, of course - I always sacrifice my best stories). This is all despite me getting a stony vibe from the inhabitants. But the city is just amazingly beautiful...
