Why Teenagers Start Smoking
Why do teenagers start smoking? As we all know that smoking is perilous to our health. Smoking can cause cancer of lungs, larynx, kidneys as well as death. Even the rest of the teenagers know the effects of smoking, but why do they keep smoking? Teenagers have several causes that they are smoking.
Peer Influence:
They smoke because of their friends because they are with you whether you’re in ups or down. Most of the smokers start smoking in their teenage. Many of them learn to smoke from their friends who are already smokers.
Family Problems:
Family problems also cause the younger generation to smoke. That causes trouble within the family. Whenever teenagers have any problem through a family or they are pressured from them, they turn to smoke to feel relaxed. Some of the parents abuse the children as well as children abuse parents or both of them who have problems that cause its broken family. Because of the home problems, teenagers get smoking.
Boredom and Image:
boredom might be the cause of why teenagers start smoking, because not all teenagers are involved in sports. They get bored at home and have nothing else to do just watch television, care for their siblings or go online playing games, because of this everyday piece of work they go smoking which excites them. Some teenagers think that smoking makes them appear cool for others and they believe that it improves their self-image, because nowadays to have a cool self-image to others is important for many teenagers.
Love:
is also a cause of smoking. If teenagers fall in love and after falling in love, when they break up they do smoke. Their imagination is that it gives them relaxation and soon that relaxation converts into habitual smoking. So this way teenagers become smokers and when they go to college or school they make friends and make them smokers and suggest others to smoke as well.
As a Fashion:
Nowadays smoking has become a fashion because they think they look better if they smoke in front of others. They don’t know the fashion which they have taken that will be the worst of their life. When they will be habitual and definitely will be compelled then they come to know that it was a fashion or curse.
Peer influence, family problems, boredom and image, love and teenagers smoke as a fashion, these are the main causes of teenagers smoking. The thing is that parents lack a care effect on these causes. My point of view is that teenagers should just follow their education. If they are given good treatment from their teachers they will never do such bad things and they will try to make their future brighter.
