Im a guy and i don't find smoking sexy at all. Smokers have bad breath, whats so sexy in that?
I read an article about How to Stop Teenage Smoking and it said that ong-term studies show that smoking leads to many serious health conditions. It causes high blood pressure, heart attacks, different kinds of cancers, and many more, especially if people start smoking at a young age. Not to mention that nicotine is a very potent substance that causes addiction and dependency. It's the main reason why even if people know for a fact that cigarette smoking kills, it's still one of the most common cause of preventable deaths each year. Parents are well justified for their concern regarding teenage smoking.
Like many other teenage disciplinary issues, convincing teens to stop smoking can be a challenge. If the habit is just starting out, parents contend with this idea in teens' heads that smoking makes them look cool and mature. There's also the extreme peer pressure that they are often subjected to. Teens often find their need to fit in to be a lot more compelling than their fear of their parents' anger. At times, teens even start smoking even if they don't really want to smoke because of peer pressure. Over time, the addiction takes hold of them and they keep on smoking.
