First of all, this is my first post so hi everybody! ;D Secondly, what do you think about cigarette smoking? How do we stop young people from smoking? In your opinion, is smoking glamorized to make young people think it is "cool" to smoke? Just interested in what everyone thinks about this topic!

Hi Hannah, welcome to the forums! I'm Victoria, from Peru. Everyone knows for a fact that cigarette smoking is bad for our health and for the environment. It's an addiction that is hard to end, like any other addiction. If someone wants to kill him or herself, I let them do that. I won't judge their actions. But I'm afraid some people still aren't aware of the implications on a global level: all the carbon monoxide released in the atmosphere and so on. Maybe making young people aware of that can help! I think way back, like in the 70's, smoking was glamorized. Now people just do it for peer pressure or as a family habit (some friends I have smoke because of that). I'm not so sure about this!
