Why do teens start smoking?

Teens give many reasons for why they start smoking:

"My friends smoke."
"I just wanted to try it."
"I thought it was cool."
"My parents smoke."

One of the biggest reasons teens start to smoke is peer influence. Teenagers are more prone to peer pressure. Over 70 per cent of teens say that having friends who smoke and/or peer pressure is the number one reason for starting to smoke.

Another main reason that youth smoke is that adults do.
