Teen SmokingPeer pressure, availability, promotion, root cause, negative influences. Here are some of the reasons why teenagers smoke before the age of 18. Peer pressure is one of the most common effects that push teens to smoke or try something they shouldn't try. Especially when hanging out with friends, many teenagers are pressured to do things and one of them smokes. Friends push them to smoke and that's when they try to fit in so they don't get teased or shamed for not wanting to try. Promotion or availability occurs when adolescents are influenced by watching adults such as relatives, parents, aunts and uncles smoking. They pick up on that vibe where in their mind they think, “If they can do that, then why can’t I?” Also, when teenagers look at someone they consider a role model, they follow them because they want to be like them, but one day they don't realize that they are getting into a bad habit that should not not be followed. Even singers, actors, etc. Favorites have a strong influence on young adolescents. Availability is another, especially when parents allow their children to smoke and also give them cigarettes to smoke or some go to a gas station and ask an older person to get them a pack of cigarettes because that they are minors. (Due to peer pressure, 2003) Negative influence is another; this is due to peer pressure or a bad peer group, who might be friends facing a problem in their life that they would rather not say anything about. It is therefore their behaviors that have a negative influence on other adolescents, as well as on adult members of their family such as their parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. They can also pressure teenagers to do things they do, for example: when a teenager wants to try something, his parents motivate him to try it. This is when teenagers experience negative influence not only from their friends, but also from someone close to you who you never thought would do something like pressure you for something. thing.
