The differences between subjective feelings of those who smoke and those who don’t are shown in behavioral changes that are more apparent in teens than adults. Teens seem to be more abrasive when smoking or they feel like they are older and wiser when they smoke. Why do they smoke when we have seen billions of dollars spent on antismoking campaigns? The American Lung Association estimates that every minute four thousand eight hundred teens will take their first drag off a cigarette. Of those four thousand eight hundred, about two thousand will go on to be chain smokers. The fact that teen smoking rates are steadily increasing is disturbing. We are finding out that about 80% of adult smokers started smoking as teenagers.
Teens like to act as if they are someone special or dangerous. By smoking they can act on those feelings. Because it is so forbidden it becomes more alluring to teens. The problem is that when they take that first puff, they can become addicted. The idea that they are breaking the law or going against their parents and schools is an addiction within itself. Kids like to get attention; it does not matter if it’s good attention or bad attention. They crave attention and by smoking they get big attention. The other teens look at them in all kinds of ways and the adults get upset and don’t know what to do.
The times are changing; what the public and science did not know twenty years ago is now coming to the surface. The fact is that smoking cigarettes can cause many health problems including emphysema, high blood pressure, and various forms of cancer. We are seeing people live longer and healthier lives and the old idea that smoking makes you cool and attractive is gone. This is the truth about cigarettes; they are loaded with harmful chemicals and the end result is that they are a dangerous drug that can seriously harm people.

the tobacco is the principal cause of cancer of lung and affect the respiratory sistems the problems is that every day is more common the use in the teenagers.
I think the snuff seriously harms health, and this text must be internalized,
This affects the consumption of attention, concentration and development of the work of learning are common to the consumers of this substance, but beyond these cognitive disorders, the effects of its consumption may trigger mental disorders. Smokers, in addition to harming their own health, hurt all those around them. It is apparent that what has been called "passive smoking" is dangerous for those who suffer, fully justifying the protective measures have been taken in various environments in which these situations occur.
For this reason, I think it should be important to work with young people in campaigns to reduce this.
