Since 1998 the US started investing plenty of money on anti-smoking campaigns. Until 2003 the campaigns showed great success lowering the number of smokers by great numbers. The best result was seen in teen smokers. But since 2003 the US decreased the funding of anti-smoking campaigns and teens developed tolerance to these campaigns and the number of teen smokers started to rise once again.
Most teens are not well informed or don’t understand the effects that smoking has on their health. Nicotine found in tobacco is one of the most addictive substances in the world, 4 out of 5 teens that try tobacco will start smoking. The reasons why teenagers start smoking are plenty, one of the biggest reasons is because they saw it from their parents. So if you don’t want your teens to smoke you should lead by example. Another well known reason is peer pressure.
There are several ways you can make your teen learn the responsibilities of smoking and the bad effects that smoking leaves on their health, if you catch your teen smoking there are a few interesting things you can do like telling him to do his own laundry.

Raising taxes on cigarettes has proved to be a success, as most kids can’t afford to purchase cigarettes.

You deal with your smoking issues at home and the state will deal with it on the global level. The fact that most parents turn a blind eye is the biggest problem in this issue.
