They get stale.

Cigarette tobacco has an ideal moisture content after it's cured. They're wrapped in a preservative foil and packaged in light cardboard packages with cellophane wrapped around each pack in order to preserve the moisture content from point of manufacture to point of sale. Once the cellophane wrapping is removed, the cigarettes will slowly begin to dry out. This isn't noticeable during the normal consumption of a pack by the end user. When most of the moisture has leached out of the cigarettes, they will taste stale, and burn away rapidly.

Depending on the age of your cigs, it shouldn't matter. A month will just make them taste bad. Anything more than that I can't advise smoking them, as I don't know if perhaps fungus or mites or anything could invade the tobacco.

It dries out and becomes unpleasant to smoke, but the tars and nicotine are still there.

Why is it a bad idea for a teen to start smoking?

It's a bad idea for ANYONE to start smoking. It's extra bad for teens since damage done by smoking adds up over the years. The sooner you start, the more likely you are to get sick from the cigarettes before old age gets you. It's also extra bad as smoking costs money, and teens tend to have less money than adults.
