DeleteIn my opinion, i think the main thing is the mutual influence and encouragement of friends and family. Nowadays teenagers start smoking because they think it's a fad that everyone should follow, in my opinion I think it's bad to smoke at an early age, nowadays all teenagers smoke because of fashion, in my opinion many teenagers smoke because his parents do it and teenagers think it's good to do it.
ReplyDeleteNowadays, More and more social pressures are driving young people to find ways to reduce. Some young people were misled into the wrong path and began to learn to smoke. At first they didn't think smoking was bad, and they felt that smoking was cool. Smoking has become their habit for a long time, and they are very uncomfortable without smoke. Even if they know that smoking is bad for their health, there are many disadvantages, but they can no longer refuse cigarettes. They will smoke for a lifetime
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion , the smokers have a pressure when then smoke or like they smoke by the talking even like after dinner they will smoke, they thinks it’s fun. Thought they know it is bad for health. Nowadays the young people smoke learn from the parents, grandparents. So they saw the were smoking. The teenager will learn from them. Or like a group of students were smoking. The teenager don’t have self control, they may join in this group, be a smoker.
ReplyDeleteI think, at this age parents need to teach children the harm of smoking and harmful to the body, we do not sell cigarettes to people who don't have at least 18 years of age, I think there are many reasons they smoke, most of the reason is that feel cool.
ReplyDeleteI don’t no why they start smoking. In face, cigarettes have bad smell and uncomfortable. Even smoker know cigarettes is every bad for health, lung. Maybe, teenagers affected by adults who addicted cigarettes and bad friend. Also old cartoons had smoking moment. That make teenagers think smoking is cool, then they try and fall in bad way
ReplyDeleteI feel very bad about teenager smoking, because it hurts the body, and smoking causes cancer and is not good for the body. And adolescent smoking can make you mentally awkward, your grades will get worse, and smoking is a very bad habit.
ReplyDeleteSo why do teenagers start smoking?
DeleteIn my opinion, smokers have a pressure, then smoke or smoke as they talk, even if they smoke after dinner, they think it's interesting. I thought they knew it was harmful to health. Young people now smoke from their parents and grandparents. So they saw smoking. The boy will learn from them. Or like a group of students smoking. The teenager has no self-control and they may join this group and become a smoker.
ReplyDeleteI think some teenagers think that smoking is a very handsome thing, they will follow those who smoke. Of course, some teenagers just feel bored, experience freshness, or reduce the pressure of study or life.
ReplyDeleteI think the teenagers start smoking because some people look it like cultural or they start smoking because they parents o members of the family do it too.I think that some teenagers do it because they think is cool but is bad for your self but I really don’t judge the people that smoke because for a lot of people is something cultural or have a reason to do it.
ReplyDeleteI think that adolescents smoke because of the influence of family and friends, at that age adolescents are more vulnerable and that makes them make wrong decisions.
ReplyDeleteI also think that in many countries you can get cigarettes very easily and that also makes you smoke more.
I think that teenagers start to smoke because they look at the curiosity generated by their father or others smoking and then try to smoke. And some people start to smoke because they feel that others are smoking and feel cool. Or more because of the influence of friends around you to start smoking.
ReplyDeleteI think smoking in youth is caused by many factors, probably because there is no venting of emotions, no friends, and some people think that smoking looks cool, like an adult, can show off in front of friends. I think it is harmful to smoke too early, at least until the legal age.
ReplyDeleteI think smoking is very bad. He is equivalent to chronic drugs that harm people's health. Every year, many people in the world die because of smoking sickness - lung cancer. Scientists investigating 20 cigarettes to kill a cow. Smoking causes people's lung capacity to drop, making people's skin darker. The lungs of smokers are very dark. More and more people around the world are smoking, especially teenagers. Teenagers don't know anything, they may only think that smoking is a very cool thing, but in fact it is a very bad thing. So please don't smoke. If someone is smoking, please tell them about the dangers of smoking and let them smoke less.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everybody, for your comments on why teenagers smoke. According to you, reasons include: family members smoke, friends smoke, smoking is seen as "cool," and smoking expresses emotion.
ReplyDeleteI think that the reason why young people smoke may be to see how adults smoke, and they have a yearning for it. And it is not clear the harm of smoking to the human body.
