Maybe. But i don't think i want to spoil my country. Its a bad habit right? So, teen need to know about this one since early. School and parents need take attention about this problem if don't want this problem spread put and make more worse.
Although smoking rates in teenagers has been down for years, researchers have found that girls are starting to smoke in the hope of losing weight. According to a recent study by the American Journal of Health Promotion teenage girls dieting during the two-year study were almost twice as likely to take up smoking than those not dieting. Conversely, the study found that teenage boys turned to cigarettes after attempting and failing at dieting. Janan Less, community health consultant for the Scott County Health Department, said she thinks the increase in teenage girls smoking is linked to high obesity rates and girls looking to tobacco to lose weight.
Makes you wonder which is the lesser of the two evils doesn't it.
When it comes down to it, teenagers are going to do what they want, when they want. You can't tell them anything because they already know it all.

I wouldn't go back to that age if you paid me!
Great thing is they realise several years later that Mum and Dad were right (most of the time) Big Grin My kids have kids of their own now, and they marvel at how I coped with them!

Haha yep once we get out in the real world it tends to wake us up a bit. My parents just came to visit me and met my step-son for the first time. They were quite amused to see me being a mum figure.
