Answer:

Peer Pressure from friends

Seeing family members or people on TV, in movies or music videos

Step-by-step explanation:

Research also suggests that seeing characters who smoke in movies makes them more likely to try cigarettes.

Teens go through big developmental changes, forming their own identities and taking more risks. They also begin to pay more attention to being accepted by friends. The study, Receptivity to Tobacco Advertising and Susceptibility to Tobacco Products (published in Pediatrics in 2017), found cigarette ads may make teens feel like smoking would make them popular, sophisticated, attractive or tough.
