Smoking
Many people start smoking because they're curious, think it's cool or want to fit in with the crowd. This can also make it difficult to say no to cigarettes and resist peer pressure. You have to be 18 to buy cigarettes or other tobacco products.
Easy to become addicted
Smoking is not good for us and our bodies, yet many people take up smoking. It may be because of peer pressure or because it feels good. It is often difficult to quit once you have started.
Cigarettes contain tobacco and nicotine. Nicotine is a toxic substance that is highly addictive.
Rarely does anyone think smoking is good. Instead, it can make you dizzy and nauseous. Many people say that smoking makes them feel calm, but smoking actually puts more stress on the body.
