In your own words, explain how friends, family, and the media (tv, insta, movies, music, ads) influence the choice to use tobacco or other drugs. Answer ASAP plz and ty

Answer 1

If you are living with family that smokes, chews, or does drugs you end up thinking that its normal and ok to do that same thing when you listen to music that sings/raps about doing that.

Answer 2

Friends are people you want to around that you want to hang out with but sometimes those friends can have an impact on your health. My closest friends smoked weed drank alcohol etc and i wanted to hang out with them but i didn’t want to be the boring friend. You get pushed in a direction thats not easy to get out from. Family’s can have different impact on using tobacco or other drugs some people se it as acceptable because there family members do it to but some people tend to dislike it and be disgusted by it because they have seen what other people haven’t. They have seen there parents struggling with addiction they have inhaled smoke or seen drugs there entire life. These things can have a big impact on a person. Media such as movies and in music can sometimes portray usage of tobacco as a “cool” thing that the popular kids do. This can make people believe that they need tobacco to be popular or be liked by someone. The usage of drugs may seen fun and spontaneous but the reality is far from that. You use a part of yourself that is hard to gain back. It’s very easy to end up in the black hole that drugs and tobacco provide but its very hard to get out sometimes even imposible.
