Smokin'
A survey


Hello, hello. You may call me Sileeka. ^^ I'm a schoolgirl *gasp* in Year 11, and I need some help.

I have a research assignment which requires me to gather statistics about youth risk-taking. My chosen topic is cigarette smoking.
For this survey, I need some lads and ladies (at least 10 each) to step up and answer some questions. I do have a few criteria as to who can participate though.


Requirements
Be between 12 to 25 years of age inclusive.
Be a current smoker.
Preferably, be female. I already have enough males. ^^


If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or reply in this thread. ^^

I am currently online/offline


Disclaimer: I do not condone nor encourage smoking of any substance.

I quit smoking.....bout a year and a half ago. I could still do it for you if you like. But in a past tense form.

@ Lynx Raven Raide: Thank you for your willingnes though.

@ bohemian_wild_child: Please do, that would be fantastic.  

[WellzY]

I don't smoke, but on top of which I'm also a male, so I fail.  

[`sileeka]

I managed to get a few more females, so even though I don't have as many as I would have I liked to I've got enough for my analysis. ^^

Thanks everyone!
