“why teens smoke
cigarettes"
In this modern era, the phenomenon of teneeger or high school students who smoke
has become commonplace and not weird, teen or student who smoke come from all
levels of education, starting from elementary school (SD), Junior High School
(SMP) and School Secondary (high school) .in The terms there are several
reasons and causes of their smoking are:
First, Effect of association. interaction with peers both
in school and outside of school is 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.
Secondly, 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. Often also
when hanging out at a place where many groups of students gathered, who smoke
feel more confident. Those who can not stand the smell of cigarette smoke and
much less flapping hands and coughing will be ridiculed students who smoke.
Thus it is not strange that many cigarette advertisements identify with
masculinity or champion of a man who smoked.
Third, Feeling 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 drool 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 the feeling of enjoying cigarettes arise when a person has an addiction.
Fourth, Effect of Parent or Family. 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 was a baby, child, teenager near
them. So it is not so surprising that a teenager easily influenced to smoke,
even though the parents at home smoking ban them even angry when caught
smoking.
