Smoking is one of the reasons why people now a days especially the teenagers are having health problems particularly to the lung cancer. This fact is brought about by the temptations by adults and advertisements with which young people in this generation are confronted daily. These inducements are powerful and successful in convincing large numbers of young people. Sometimes smoking is brought by the ignorance of the people.
Cigarettes that were advertised had a government warning, “smoking is dangerous to your health”. Why would they advertise this to the television if they said that smoking is dangerous to your health? What is the purpose of doing this so? Why would the government allow this thing if they knew that this is not good for all of us? I don’t know the reason for this but I kno some facts about smoking.
They said that if you had smoking as your habit, it will have a big effect to the different systems in your body particularly to your central nervous system.
Social pressures can influence a teenager to start smoking, which came from friends, adults, advertisement and other sources. Some teenagers were forced to smoke because the want to be accepted by they wanted to be their friend. Your friends who are smokers can be a very big influence to you because they are the ones who are always with you. Some also think that if they smoke, they can have a good image from their friends because their friends would think that they are already an independent person. There are also cases that teenagers would think or believe that smoking makes them seem older, mature and sophisticated. Advertisements contribute also to smoking because it use models that create an image that people might want to imitate. This ads also often try to convinced people that their products are safe to use.
I knew some people who were smoking. He smokes before when he was still a teenager but had already stopped after his marriage because he learned that smoking is dangerous to his health especially for his lungs because he had weak lungs. I knew a person also who doesn’t stop smoking until now. I don’t know the reason why he doesn’t stop. I had also seen many women in our neighborhood who were smoking. But in our family, there were few people who smoke.
In our health subject, I had learned that a piece of cigarette can give damage to your body. I personally know why people especially teenagers smoke. Mostly, it’s because of peer pressure or being influenced by friends or people around them. Some people who easily get nervous smoke to take away their nervousness. People also reason out that they smoke to take away their problems.
For me, I don’t like to smoke because I know that it may affect my health in the future. Maybe you won’t see the side effects right away but you’ll see it after smoking many times. You may regret why you smoke and you don’t listen to the elders. So as early as now, think first of what you should do, if you would continue smoking even if you know it’s not good or you don’t want to continue anymore because you know what’s right for you.
