Many young people today have an invincibility complex or the idea that they cannot be hurt by their actions. As a result many are blind to smoking as a fashion and effects that could cause lifetime damage to their bodies. While they may know the harmful effects, this does not stop the rise of smoking in young people. It is a fact that youth and smoking is a crisis that needs to be dealt with.
When the kids see the young people smoking, they take up smoking because they want to look mature. After all, smoking is considered an adult behaviour, and they think they will look cool when they smoke, or that they will look more grown-ups. Smoking is really a dangerous thing for health. We should try ending it to save our children from any harm.
