What are some side effects of smoking cigarettes for young female teens? |
More of physical and mental effects, not so much as health effects. My younger sister is 14 and is sadly trying to smoke cigarettes. She knows the health issues but thinks she'll be okay so I want to warn her about all the other risks. Can someone tell me some of these physical/mental risks or just give me a place where i can find them? Boys think that it is cool, so if she wants to be popular...smoke away, it's cool! smoking is not good. really! cigarettes contain more than 6000 different types of toxic (only in minute amount). it is true. no joke. it affects almost every aspect of one's life. be happy. enjoy life without that cigarettes. ok? ^_^ I had a friend who was thinking of doing marijuana. Well, thinking may not be the best choice of words there. Anyway, I went to the police station and they were happy to give me some pamphlet type thingies and information on what drugs including tobacco can do. just let her smoke, its her choice. if you tell her not to, she will probably smoke more. The biggest problem with getting young people to quit smoking is they cannot envision the future health consequences. They think that lung cancer is a million years from now. So, I think that the best way to get her to stop is to appeal to her vanity. Smoking gives you yellow teeth, makes you smell bad, and makes your skin leathery. Also, lots of guys won't date a smoker because no one wants to kiss an ashtray. No matter what age you are, you be facing with the same risk as the adult smokers.
