Today our society is facing a global problem - smoking.
Cigarettes are becoming more and more popular for the number of smokers grows up every day.
Unfortunately, most of these people are young ones, especially students.
But what makes them turn to smoking?
The most significant reason is students’ curiosity about cigarettes.
At that age, teenagers are eager to explore the surrounding world and want to try everything new.
Consequently, at some time some of them start smoking.
At first occasionally, gradually smoking becomes a regular activity.
Once students get used to it, they cannot easily give it up.
As a result, cigarettes start to play a big role in their lives.
Not only is curiosity a reason for smoking, but also the people around.
Teenagers are very dependable on what others think about them.
As they want to be accepted in the group of their peers,
they tend to do and try everything that is considered to be ‘cool’.
Under the influence of their classmates or friends,
students often start smoking without realizing that one can be ‘cool’
and interesting to others not only because of cigarettes.
Another reason for starting smoking is that young people connect it with being mature.
They see adults smoking and conclude that it turns a child into a grown-up person.
In addition, when adults constantly forbid smoking and explain its unhealthy effects,
students get more interested in it as everything forbidden is much more alluring.
To put it in a nutshell, smoking has become too popular among young people.
That is a great problem in our society because it puts one’s health in risk of various diseases.
As young people are the future of the society, we should do everything in order to stop smoking
spread so widely among them.
