The first couple times I had a cigarette I felt a little high. Granted I was 15 or so, but I assume that is the same effect for everyone. If you continue smoking, it's not going to feel like this all the time, it's only because your body isn't used to the chemicals in cigarettes. Eventually, you won't feel any different when you have a smoke (well I don't), but if you don't have one you will feel different as your body would start to go through a bit of withdrawls and begin to crave the chemicals. Smoking is one of the hardest things to quit, so if you can while you're ahead, I say do it. I'm only 24 and therefore smoking only about 10 years, and it's still extremely difficult for me to quit, mind you people who have had the habit for 30, 40, 50 years. I have quit a few different drugs and smoking is one of the hardest, in part due to it being legal and easily accesible, but also just due to the fact that it is so addictive. Smoking isn't supposed to bring about an alcohol like effect, like if you have 10 cigarettes you'll feel "better" than if you had two, whereas in terms of drinks, depending on how much you can drink, you might. I dunno, I say fuck the peer pressure and quit while you're ahead. Maybe that's just me though.
