Teenage Smoking

Teenagers usually get involved in smoking either because of their environment or because of their family and friends. If a teenager is living in an environment where the majority of the people are smoking they might want to get involved in smoking because they assume its the common thing people do since they see it in their environment. Another reason is that their family member s might smoke and see their family as a role model and might begin to believe that smoking is a good thing. Or their family might not be attentive with them and are looking for attention and decide to take up smoking in order to receive that attention. Friends are also a major influence in whether a teenager smokes or not because their friends encourages them that its the "cool" thing that everyone is doing and they should try it in order to be"cool." Problems from smoking result in lack of air whenever doing any physical activity. One major problem of smoking is cancer. You will be faced with cough and the inability to catch your breath. Another major problem is becoming addicted to smoking.
