13. Interview of a Person , addicted of
smoking
Q:When and why did you decide to start smoking cigarettes?
A: I was 17. My friends smoked. It seemed kind of cool, and I
felt like it became part of a rebellious identity for me. I was
kind of a innocent, so it was a way to rebel without doing
anything truly scary.

14. Q. How did smoking affect your health and day-to-day life?
A: I noticed it was difficult for me to go up stairs and to catch my
breath. Every morning I would wake up and cough up gross stuff. I
would catch colds more easily. I couldn’t smell it then, but I began
to once I started quitting.
When I smoked, If it wasn’t allowed, I would have to leave my
friends at the table and go outside. As more and more of my friends
quit, I was left outside by myself.
It was also expensive. I bought more packs than I intended to
because I would run out faster than I thought I would — and that
got very expensive.

15. Q: How many years did you smoke cigarettes?
A: I smoked for five years. By the end, I was
smoking a half pack to a whole pack a day. At that
point, I always wanted to smoke.
Sometimes I had to smoke first thing in the
morning, and there’s nothing grosser than having a
cigarette at 6 a.m.

16. Q. What made you decide to quit smoking?
A: I always felt guilty about it, and I got tired of the health effects.
I always knew I needed to quit, but I had to try between 5 and 10
times before I was successful.
When I was in high school, I was a peer anti-smoking educator. I
talked to younger kids and health classes, informing them about
the health risks of smoking. I knew what I was doing to myself.
Everyone knows it’s bad, but I had an especially informed
perspective on it.

17. The Teen Mind
• The Teen Mind differs from the Adult Mind
– The Limbic System, which is the centre for
emotion, is well developed in adolescence
– The Frontal Cortex, which controls emotion, is not
fully developed
• Psychosocial
– This is a period of turmoil and a search for identity
– Teens often turn to peers to aid in the search for
identity

18. Addiction
• What causes Nicotine to be addictive?
– Nicotine binds to receptors in the brain that
activate the reward system (limbic system)
– The smoker is rewarded for smoking which then
positively reinforces the smoker
– Nicotine alters brain function in a fashion that
requires nicotine in order to maintain normal
levels of dopamine (neurotransmitter that acts in
limbic system)

19. Addiction in Teens
• Is addiction different in teens?
– Teens seek sensation due to there emotional
nature
– Nicotine acts on the same parts of the brain that
cause there emotional states
– Teens are more likely to start smoking because of
peers

20. WORK for NO SMOKING
• The goal is to educate
teens and adults on
what smoking actually
does to the human
body
• The field trip is
designed to appeal to
the emotional mind of
teens
• In the end, this will
