"Smoking"

          There are many reasons why teenagers smoke. They see older people that they look up to do it, so they think that it’s ok. They smoke it because they may be having problems at school or at home and they believe that smoking is going to make them feel better about themselves. Others do it so they could be cool and fit into the in crowd. When you are a teenager, you go through many different phases trying to find yourself and smoking is a part of some of the phases that teenagers go through.
         When they see a person that they look up to, like a parent, smoke they are going to do it. They see that there isn't anything wrong with them. They believe that their parents are the best and could never do anything wrong. They are going to try and do it, so they could be like their parents. They may feel depressed and don't know of anything else that's going to make them feel better so they resort to smoking. Teenagers think that smoking is going to make them look cool, when it really makes them look somewhat stupid due to the fact that they are increasing their chances of getting a fatal disease.
         Smoking at a young age will make it more likely to get addicted to smoking. Then they are going to try to encourage other teenagers to smoke too. Every time a teenager or any other human being smokes, they are increasing their risks of getting cardiovascular disease. That is the number one killer of people who smokers. They also could get lung cancer and many other cancers and diseases.
