Smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains the very addictive chemical nicotine. As with heroin or other addictive drugs, the body and mind quickly get used to the nicotine in cigarettes. Soon, a person needs to have it just to feel normal.
People start smoking for different reasons. Some think it looks cool. Others start because their family members or friends smoke. Almost all adult tobacco users started before they were 18 years old. Most never expected to become addicted. That's why it's so much easier to not start smoking at all.
Teens turn to cigarettes for a number of reasons:
•Some are motivated by peer pressure — they smoke to be like their friends.
•Teens who are socially awkward may start smoking as a way to fit in.
•Some like the appeal of the “rebel” label that may be attached to smoking.
•However misguided, teens equate smoking with being grown-up, mature, and cool.
•They see their favorite actors doing it on TV or in movies, and they want to convey that same sense of style.
•Teenage girls might smoke to help them manage their weight.
•Ads often show young adults having fun while smoking, increasing the appeal.
•If adults in the home smoke, a teen is much more likely to start.
