In this activity, you will need to analyze the reasons that people give for smoking. This may be done by interviewing some people you know that smoke or by going online and researching reasons persons give for smoking.

Answer 1

Some reasons that people give for smoking:
> they believe it reduces stress and anxiety ( scientific studies show this isn't factual and the chemicals within smoking products is only made appealing and or distracting to make the user believe so. It actually heightens stress levels and lowers health levels)
> this sounds cliche but, teens often think its cool or get peer pressured into it. They find themselves wanting to try harmful substances and get addicted. ( in one study there were d r u g s found in smoking products aimed to get the attention of children and young adults. It's all a marketing ploy for business men and women to collect money as you slowly grow more and more breathless)
> lastly, "it's not that bad for you" often, markets and cig stores tell potential buyers its not as bad as other things. Some say its not harmful at all.( Lung disease,gum disease,heart failure,etc. all disprove this. Each year about 480,000 people die from the affects of smoking)
