Why Young People Still Smoke

Thursday, 21 November 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Despite growing up in an era of smoking bans and gruesome anti-smoking ads, young people are still lighting up. The Newark Star-Ledger says in many cases teens start smoking for the same reasons they always have, to fit in and to look cool. Nearly all teen smokers when asked say they don’t think they’ll still be smoking in 10 or 20 years, suggesting that while they may know how dangerous smoking is, they don’t understand how addictive it is.
