A lot of cigarette advertising that states that banned, smoking can cause respiratory disorders, infertility, cancer, and stroke. But it does not make the smokers to stop smoking deterrent, a sense of calm and addictive cigarettes are given by one of the factors it hard to stop smoking. More than 80,000 young people around the world start smoking every day. Most people start smoking when they are teenagers, which make it more difficult to quit. The earlier the habit begins, the harder it is it to stop, although many teenagers make multiple attempts to stop smoking. There are three main reasons why teens start smoking which is boredom, lose the weight and as a response to the stress of school and family life. Just like the teens like to act as if they are someone special or dangerous. By smoking they can act on those feelings. Because it is so forbidden it becomes more alluring to teens.
