Smoking has become very common and fashionable
Smoking has become popular among young people, especially boys, often starting as an experiment in school. Despite health warnings, people continue smoking due to addiction. Some young people smoke for social reasons or to appear mature. Smoking starts with a few puffs but soon becomes a daily habit, affecting health over time as the smoker becomes dependent on nicotine. Tobacco companies profit globally despite health warnings on packets. Governments raise tobacco prices to discourage smoking, yet smokers remain addicted and spend much of their income on cigarettes, also harming others with secondhand smoke. Quitting requires willpower but is possible if one is determined.
