Is smoking more common? Young adults talk about addiction among youths

Smoking is a practice in which a substance is burned and the resulting smoke breathed in to be tasted and absorbed into the bloodstream. Most commonly the substance is the dried leaves of the tobacco plant which have been rolled into a small square of rice paper to create a small, round cylinder called a “cigarette”.

It is very popular, especially among boys and also few girls. But I don’t think they are addicted to it.

I don’t smoke because I believe it is bad. Smoking is common among the teens. Meanwhile, teens who start smoking early are more prone to developing a nicotine addiction which leads to health problems.

I can’t smoke but yes smoking is popular and that is among the youth, and I believe it is because they are addicted to it or being influenced by peer group or friends.

If I judge it with my area, I will say yes. In general case, it is popular within the non educated. I mean the area boys and of course, they are addicted to it.

 

ODEBUNMI RASAQ

I don’t smoke, l am more responsible than that. But as for me, I won’t say it’s bad. I will say it is popular among the touts or the illiterate. They are the ones who abuse it because their mentality wouldn’t let them see the risk behind it.
