Has it really ever occurred to you why teenagers stop smoking? Well here are soon reasons, good or bad, that's for you to decide? And did the banning really do justice?
The result from bans on cigarette advertising has not really done what was expected of it. For example, many teens take up smoking due to peer pressure. They see their friends smoking and think its cool, so in return they experiment too. Sometimes smoking is used to be accepted into a group. Another reason teens are smoking is to be more grown up. Children want to be grown up, or act like older people; in return, they feel smoking will help them achieve this. Marlboro’s tend to be the more adult brand cigarette. People have made the correlation between advertising and smoking because Marlboro is one of the most heavily smoke brands in the world and one of the most heavily advertised. However the correlation has no basis in fact. The only reason that Marlboro’s are the most heavily smoked brand in the world is because they are considered more “adult-like.” People smoke for various reasons. Many of which are not from advertisements of cigarettes. Therefore, there are many factors that add to the problems of underage smokers, and campaigning.
Interesting? I think so :)
