Every year large sums of money are consumed on smoking, though it is highly injurious to health. What is alarming is the fact that more and more teenagers take to smoking. This is because some of their friends are regular smokers, and serve as exemplars or motivators.
Teenage being the more enjoyable time of life offers all delights, it can be positive as well as negative. Teens do smoke first to experience its taste on occasions or at their
get-togethers. This experimental smoking gradually becomes a habit: an everyday affair. Although they know it is dangerous for them, yet they do it as a challenge. This habit makes them addicts.
Another reason could be tensions and nervousness. When teens lose tempers, they start smoking to keep themselves busy.
Usually teens lose control when their wishes are ignored by their parents or when things go wrong and against their
planning.
They want to reduce their temporary tensions, and hence resort to smoking. Another reason may be their parents, as many of them are smokers.
A scientific reason is also involved in attracting young people to smoking. Nicotine arouses the delight emotion part of the brain. Consequently, it motivates the addict to go for its attached drugs like opium, heroin and cocaine.
As time passes, a smoker’s life becomes miserable and shortened too.
