Smoking at any age can be incredibly damaging to one’s health. As a teen, you are faced with seeing images in popular media of smoking as acceptable and non-problematic. Peers don’t make it any easier, as many teens experience bullying by classmates to take up smoking. Perhaps your parents smoke and you are struggling with taking up cigarettes.
Many teens take up smoking for a number of reasons. Sometimes it is due to peer pressure that teens begin to smoke. Other times a family member smokes making it hard to see the problem with smoking as a teen. Popular media doesn’t make it any easier on teens, with movie stars and singers seen smoking throughout films and magazines. With all of these influences, it can be hard for a teen to resist smoking.
Teens that begin smoking cigarettes are generally more inclined to develop nicotine addiction later on in life. Those addictions can lead to cancers and other health problems no teen should have to face. Dependencies on cigarettes can easily develop in teens, making it important that teens always know the dangers they face with every puff of smoke.
