The most obvious reason why teens may smoke is because of peer pressure. Their friends may encourage them to try smoking or they want to do the same thing they see others doing. If the teen's parents are smokers, that could also play a huge role. The teen wants to do the same thing as their parents are doing and may see it as maturity or natural. If the parent smoked while pregnant, the child may already be addicted to nicotine before even having their first cigarette. The last reason why a teen might smoke is because of stress. Tobacco is a drug that gives the smoker a short term sense of relaxation. If the teen is facing financial, school, or family problems, they might have wanted to try a cigarette to help with their stress and got hooked ever since.
