What causes teens to become addicted to smoking?

The reason for addiction is because of nicotine, which makes the brain feel excited and happy, because this feeling is very comfortable, and this effect can be achieved by smoking, so it will be smoked one after another, until such a happy feeling.

There are many reasons for this, first of all, there is nicotine in tobacco, which is the main cause of addiction, and secondly, there are too many negative inducements in society now, such as those live broadcast platforms and those bad film and television works.

Reasons why teens smoke include the following:

1. Influenced by the elders, if the father or grandfather in the family has smoked, in this environment, some teenagers may try to smoke;

2. Influenced by peers, if some friends are smokers, some teenagers may also try to smoke their first cigarette;

3. Influenced by advertisements on TV, teenagers may imitate them.

If teenagers are found to be smoking, parents should not be in a hurry, and should provide segmented guidance to give teenagers some positive encouragement, so that they can correctly understand the health hazards of smoking, including affecting growth and development and intelligence. In addition, smoking also has a negative impact on social and social development in the future. Usually with the right guidance, most adolescents are able to quit smoking.

The reason why most children choose to drink or smoke is precisely because they want to find a way to disguise and numb themselves, vent the unhappiness in their hearts that are not understood and accepted, they feel that they are not cool, strong, and unpopular, so they desperately want to find a way to make themselves cool and strong, so that everyone likes them, and this method is to smoke and drink.

It is true that this method can have a temporary paralyzing effect on people, but then, when the smoke is finished and the wine is drunk, the self-esteem and self-confidence that have just been illusory will be instantly extinguished, and the children's hearts will be as empty as the beer cans that have been drunk, and that's it. Therefore, drinking does not give people confidence, and real confidence comes from the sentence that comes from our hearts: I must be able to.

In the same way, smoking does not give people self-confidence, for children, good self-esteem and self-confidence should be built by striving to pursue and achieve their ideals and goals.

The above is an excerpt from "How to Hug a Hedgehog".

There are many harms of youth smoking, and there are more than three major harms. First of all, we know that the main components in smoke are carbon monoxide, tar and nicotine, which can cause hypoxia in our human body, cause damage to our airway mucosa, and make our body dependent on tobacco and nicotine.

For teenagers, smoking can cause our concentration to decrease, deprivation of oxygen to the brain, and poor academic performance.

The second is that long-term smoking can lead to chronic inflammation of the mouth and throat, and patients will have frequent coughing and phlegm.

The third is to affect the sleep of teenagers, smoking will be very excited, can affect the child's physical development.

The last point is that due to long-term smoking addiction, the mood is very irritable, if you can't meet the requirements of smoking, you will become extremely angry, and even some emotional excesses.

So the harm of smoking is very large, and there are definitely more than three harms.
