I always thought that second hand smoke was someone smoking with both hands until i learned about drug abuse in fifth grade...

When I was little, all the grownups smoked. My uncle told me that when the cigarrette burned down to the filter, it would explode. I hung around waiting for this to happen, but it never did.
When i was little every single adult in the family smoked (and still do) and then when my mummy said to me that she can't quit, i thought you HAD to smoke to live.
My little brother still believes that when you smoke, you blow OUT of the cigarette. He is 8.
No one in my household smoked when I was little, but when my aunts and uncles would come over at Christmas, they would smoke in the house. I thought that they ate the cigarette because they were putting it up to their mouths and it got shorter and shorter. I guess I never considered the smoke they blew out!!!

My aunt was a heavy smoker for a period in the late 60s, early 70s. When I was a kid, she told me about how she smoked 3 packs a day until one day, she "quit cold turkey." I felt my family had a personal stake in this, since we always invited her over for Thanksgiving. I gave myself a little pat on the back for our collective efforts.
I used to think that when you smoked pot that you actually smoked from a pot.

When my sister was in grade 8 she had to do an essay on the effects of smoking. She did lots of research, and read somewhere that minors weren't allowed to buy cigarettes. When she read me her essay, she said: "Miners aren't allowed to buy cigarettes because if they smoked in the mines, they would suffocate and could cause an explosion." I almost peed my pants when I told her the truth. She's lucky I caught that, otherwise her teacher would have been very disraught.

Growing up my mom was married to a guy who had a daughter much older than i was. Both my mom and my step dad smoked, and one day i asked my "older sister" why people smoked. She told me it was because they drank the wine during church. I believed this till i was probably 12.
In preschool my teacher told us about how she had started smoking at a young age. I didn't have the concept of aging down real well, so I assumed that she had started smoking when she was 4 or 5 years old.
I used to beleive that intead of sucking on chewing tobacco, I beleived you stuffed it up your nose lol XD The reason for me beleiving that is lost to time.

One day when I was about 4 or 5, I was over my grandparents house and my gradmother was smoking. I confidently told her that she was doing it the wrong way. She looked curiously at her ciragrette and then at me and asked me what she was doing wrong. I then proceeded to grab the vigarette out of her hand and try to stick the lit end in my mouth, saying "You do it like this!"
Luckily, she grabbed it out of my hand in time.

In school they had taught me that smoking would kill you, so when I saw a lady go on her smoking break I screamed to my mom, "Look, she's smoking, and she didn't even DIE!"
When I was young, one day, my father was smoking, and I realized maybe the fire is not only burning on the cigar but also burning in my father's brain, because the smoke coming out from my father's nostrils. So I splash a glass of water on my father's head. My father is so surprised that he couldn't believe what I did. And finally, he beat me resolutely...

I used to think that dope fiends smoked the glue like stuff sold in model shops, after it had dried into a hard mass.
My sister once thought that a Cigarette was smoked by putting the lit end in the mouth.
When she said this me & my brother fell about laughing.
