Teens smoke for many reasons and often for the same reasons as adults do: as a social habit, to cope with stress, to control their weight, and so on. Teens are fragile. It means, teenagers are easy to influence by something. The main reason that teen smoke is that adults do. Smoking is seen as adult behaviour and kids are always looking for ways to be more grown up. Futhermore, teens like to act as if they are someone special or dangerous. By smoking they can act on those feelings. Because it is so forbidden it becomes more alluring to teens. The problem is that when they take that first puff, they can become addicted. The idea that they are breaking the law or going against their parents and schools is an addiction within itself.
