Why Teens Smoke
Teens smoke for many reasons and often for the same reasons as adults do: to cope
with stress, to control their weight, as a social habit and to combat boredom.
One of the biggest reasons teens start to smoke is peer influence: their friends do
it. Studies show that this is especially true for girls.
Studies show one of the most important tools with teens is the parent and child
relationship. Parents should use their parental influence. Parents should know who their
kids hang out with. Parents must have high expectations for them, listen to them and
treat them with respect. The kids will hold themselves to higher standards too. This is
especially important if the parent smokes himself.
There's clear evidence that tobacco companies target children in their marketing.
Some of the most effective are sports sponsorships - for example, boys are twice as likely
to smoke if they follow car racing. Movies too: the more kids sees their favourite movie
stars smoking on the screen, the more likely they'll try it themselves. Some researchers
think that tobacco advertising carries even more weight than peer influence.
Finally, the main reason that kids smoke is that adults do. Smoking is seen as adult
behaviour and kids are always looking for ways to be more grown up.
