Why Teens Smoke Cigarettes
Now this era, is no stranger to see teenagers smoking. Smoking behavior
had started in childhood and adolescence. Almost partly understood due to the
dangers of smoking. Although everyone knows the dangers that will result from
smoking, but smoking behaviors have not decreased and appears to be a behavior
that is tolerated by society. Cigarette tobacco is rolled or rolled-up paper
rolls, usually smoked one after the burnt ends. Only with burn and smoke a
cigarette alone, can be produced more than 4000 types of chemicals. 400 of them
are poisonous and 40 of them can accumulate in the body and can cause cancer.
Two of them are addictive nature of nicotine and tar which are carcinogenic.
Nowadays a lot of teenager cigarette consumption in this case because :
First, because influence of the association. Factor is exactly what the
most influential and vital. Lots of students or teenagers who are still in
middle school or high school who started smoking when invited by her friends.
interaction with peers both in school and outside of school was a more dominant
cause a student to smoke. Those who had never smoked, while hanging out with
friends who smoke are usually more easily influenced and smoking bandwagon.
They are not confident when the time hanging out with friends who smoke, do not
participate smoke. Especially when that is in charge or who is considered a
leader in a group of friends is a student smoker, chances are that others will
also be permitted. Even smoking together are considered a form of solidarity. A
pack of cigarettes is divided, even one cigarette smoked together
interchangeably. Students who do not always carry cigarettes and cigarettes on
his stingy giving considered more "whew" than others . Cigarette ad
with the tag "Without you not crowd (Gak Ada Lo Gak Rame) " May also
be derived from the interaction phenomena .
The second because they feel more manly than nonsmokers. In the
association of students, those who smoke often identified with the hero,
because not many students who dared to smoke albeit clandestinely. Students who
smoke find themselves bravely against the rules of the school, it will
indirectly cause awe or fear among his friends who do not smoke.
Thirdly because they feel stress. Quite a lot of students who smoke
because they feel stressed due to problems experienced such problems with
parents, boyfriends or trouble with teachers and lessons. Smoking became a
breakout. This is more easily done by students who have friends who smoke.
Although at first they endure not to smoke in the middle of the student
association of smoking, but when they are experiencing problems will eventually
smoke. Usually the desire to smoke is coming because he saw his friend who
smokes really enjoy and look satisfied. Finally tempted to want to feel the same
way. When the first new cigarette taste obviously would not feel the same
pleasure that makes curious and keep trying until smoking addiction. Because it
is a feeling enjoy smoking occurs if a person has an addiction.
And the last because Influence of Parents / Families. Most of my friends
who smoke comes from a family of heavy smokers. Typically father, grandfather,
uncle, brother or someone who lives one house is a heavy smoker. They lighten
up smoking in the house even though there is a baby, child, teenager who was
near them. So it is not so surprising that the student friends easily
influenced to smoke, even though the parents at home smoking ban them even
angry when caught smoking.
In adolescence, smoking may cause short-term effects, such as interference
with the respiratory system, addiction to nicotine, as well as increasing the
risk for using other dangerous hazards, such as drugs, etc. While the long-term
problem is the fact that once a smoker becomes active, usually will continue to
be an active smoker all his life. Of course this will cause a lot of adverse
effects on health.
