Ages depend on locality and nationality. Areas like Mexico and South America tend to have younger "beginning" ages for teenage tobacco use. Areas like North America and Europe tend to have higher ages because of the knowledge that smoking is linked to cancer and other respiratory and circulatory diseases.

most common age for starting smoking was between 15 years and 19 ... The idea that smoking makes people elegant was not a common reason given ... The main sources for the first cigarette were significantly different between boys and girls. ..

I know people who started smoking at 8. I've never even tried a cigarette. It's completely dependent on the individual.
