Question

Why do people choose to start smoking??


I have to have 3 reasons why people choose to start smoking and weigh each reason against the facts.
In other words, prove that the reasons not to smoke far outweigh the reasons to smoke.

I have these reasons: they think it's cool, peer pressure, and curiosity.
I need help with the opposing argument/facts.! Help please!! thansk

Answer 1

Smoking.... What? I assume you mean Tobacco?

Answer 2

stressed causes you to do dumb things, then you can't stop, just wanted too, yea reasons not to smoke outweigh to smoke

Answer 3

they think it's cool - their surroundings
peer pressure - daily life/ stresses -here is biological role
curiosity - again surroundings/ society
each of them is because of society

Answer 4

for peer pressure society too or more like mainly

Answer 5

if you want to weigh it with facts think of points that direct to biological reasons
instead of think its cool and curiosity - you can put stress/daily life stress
peer pressure is good - here you will talk about society's influence
think of third one again - you can include addiction here

Answer 6

now try thinking of how society can influence our behavior - sociological and psychological reasons

then think of how smoking effects stress - biological reasons/ facts & a bit of psychological reasons

and lastly think of what in smoke/cigarette makes people addicted (they might be wanting to quit it but cant due to addiction) - biological reasons/ facts

Answer 7

I believe that smoking starts because of two things,
1. When people are Stressed they look to drugs and smoking to help them. Though in the long run it end causing cancer things like that.
2. Peer pressure can take it's toll when all your friends are saying, here try it it's great!
But in the long saying yes and taking the tobacco or drug sets you up a addiction in the long run
