Many #young people are starting to use #tobacco products.
Boys use tobacco products much more than girls but use among girls is increasing.
50 out of 100 teenagers who smoke today will eventually die of tobacco-related disease unless they quit.
We should provide clear, strong and personalised advice to young people and inform them of problems with tobacco use.
When young people smoke or chew tobacco they:
– experience loss of stamina during and after exercise
– face difficulty in breathing, running and sporting activities
– get tired easily
“As your friend, I want to tell you that:
– you may believe smoking makes you look trendy and cool, but you can become impotent/infertile.”
– smoking and tobacco use causes teeth stains and bad breath.”
– smoking and tobacco use dries out your skin and hair. It is likely to cause wrinkles.”
