Youth and Smoking
Most people smoke when they are teenagers[مراهقين], but addicted [مدمنين] when they are adults. Some people can give it up while others cannot because they are badly addicted. Actually, the majority [أغلبية] of people smoke because they are unaware of the negative effects [نتائج] of this phenomenon, whereas, others do know that smoking has very disastrous [خطير] effects, but can not stop it because they are extremely addicted.

Young people usually smoke for three main reasons: To look mature and powerful, to be like their friends and sometimes they just want to try a cigarette and end up being addicts. Teenagers often just imitate [يقلد] what other people around them are doing. For example, when they see some of their relative, friends, movie starts smoke, they try it too.

On the other hand, adults smoke for different reasons. Someone of them wrongly think that smoking relieves [يخفف] stress and helps them think straight and may be help them solve their problems. Others smoke because they have personal or family problems.

However, it’s is crystal clear that smoking is hazardous [خطير] for health. It is the major cause of lung cancer and may other bad diseases. Furthermore, smoking can also affect your financial [مادي] situation. For example, people who smoke are obliged to spend their money buying cigarettes everyday. In addition, smoking make you smell badly, changes the color of your teeth and affects your skin color and complexion [بشرة].

To put an end to this phenomenon, one should avoid [تجنب] smoking as much as possible. And, even if one is addicted, they should try cut down the number of cigarettes he smokes a day. Besides, it is important not to socialize with people who smoke because that may push you to try a cigarette one day and that’s where all the problems begin.

Finally, it is also the responsibility of the government [الحكومة], non-governmental organizations as well as association [الجمعيات] of the civil society to sensitize people about the dangers of smoking. In this way, we can put an end to this irresponsible behavior.
