Causes and Problems of Teenage Smokers

     There are many reasons why teenagers may begin to smoke. For example- their parents may have smoked, they might think they look real cool, or older and more interesting, they may also think that by smoking it will relieve them from any stress, help them concentrate, have fun, or any other reason that smokers can come up with. Because of the chemicals in cigarettes it may alter someone’s mood. Nicotine is an extremely addictive drug, and not having it when you are addicted makes you have cravings, where you feel like you 'have' to have the drug. People also get into the habit of smoking when they are at a gathering with either friends or family.
     Many smokers begin to smoke because they see a role model of theirs in a movie or picture smoking. By seeing that they believe it's cool to smoke. What they don't know is that those who smoke have a strong smell of nicotine. if they see it in a movie they need to realize that the actor is most likely not really smoking. Smokers do not have great skin and hair. All the teens look at is how good their role model looks.
