Most people who smoke tobacco start during their teenage years or as young adults. There are many reasons why a person starts to smoke. For some teens, it is a way to rebel against their parents. Other teens may feel pressure from their friends (peer pressure) and begin smoking as a way to appear “cool.” Some may be modeling a parent’s or sibling’s behavior, and others believe it is a way to relieve stress or boredom. Even if you don’t think you will keep smoking, it is straightforward to get “hooked” or addicted because of the nicotine found in all tobacco products.
