When your parents were young, people could buy cigarettes and smoke pretty much anywhere - even in hospitals! Advertisements for cigarettes were all over the place. Today we're more aware about how bad smoking is for our health. Smoking is banned in almost all public places and cigarette companies are no longer allowed to advertise on TV, radio, and in many magazines.
Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer and heart disease. Smoking can shorten your life by 10 years or more. So how come people are still smoking? The answer, in a few words, is a bad habit. Smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains nicotine. The body and mind quickly become so used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person needs to have it just to feel normal.
People start smoking for a variety of different reasons. Some think it looks nice. Others start because their family members or friends smoke. Studies about smoking show that about 9 out of 10 tobacco users start before they're 18 years old.
