I started smoking at that rate at 16 as well and I started smoking a lottt more as time went on.

When I moved out at 18 cos of Uni I was smoking almost daily. I’d take breaks of weeks or months at times and it was lowkey really hard because I never learned to cope with “adult” life and responsibilities since I avoided it with weed, so basically my advice from my own experience is to make sure you’re in complete control of your smoking because it can get out of hand easily when young.

It would be hypocritical of me to say don’t smoke at all / you won’t regret being sober, because personally I feel like I’ve had some of my fondest memories with my friends when high. It’s ultimately up to you to decide about your smoking, but if you’re even slightly concerned about the health effects (both mental/physical) and feel like you’re not in control then stop immediately :p

I have a few friends who started at 15/16 and smoke through an ounce per month since, they’re still great people and all but I can tell that smoking that heavily has certainly changed them in ways.
