YOUNG SMOKER

Why do teenagers start smoking?

-Desire to be accepted. Teenagers start smoking because their friend smoke

-Desire to break the rules. Young people want to be indipendent and “do” what they can’t do.

-Desire to be similar to adults. When they smoke, teenagers feel like adults.

-Desire to be “cool”. Teenagers begin smoking for run or to be desiderable.

Teens usually start smoking between the age of 13 and 18, but hardly ever after the age of 20: this means that there is a difference between the “teenage mind” and the “adult mind”.For example teenage thing:“most of my friend smoke and if don’t start i won’t be cool enaugh”

While adult think: “even if most of my friend smoke, i don’t really care”.

Adult reason before making choices, teenagers usally don’t. the real problem is that smoking causes addiction and adult smokers really want to quit because smoking is one of the main causes of lung cancer. They also realize how difficult it is to stop. Yet, teenagers seem to disgregard what they are told about smoking and give more importance to ‘’being cool’’.In conclusion if you start smoking as a teenagers you risk adopting an addictive habit that is unwanted, unhealty and expensive.
