The number of young people today
who smoke is constantly increasing. The problems that teenagers face nowadays
were more likely to lead them to habitual vices like drinking alcohol or
smoking. Some of them believed - incorrectly – that smoking will help reduce
their stress and make them look like they can handle the problems instead of
looking insecure. What they see in adults, also can affect as if they would
become more mature by acquiring such habit. For females, a significant reason
for them to smoke is the desire to look confident. According to a study, it
shows that today, youth smoking rate is roughly 50% greater than the smoking
rate of adults. This is very alarming, which is why our home, Asia Pacific
College stands to solve this problem.
APC recently become concerned
about the increasing number of young smokers among their students, that they
have decided to strengthen the anti-smoking campaign. There are a lot of people
who suffer from lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
which is why APC fortify the campaign to save many lives before it’s too late.
The question: Is everyone will
have a positive response for the campaign? Will all of the youth smokers stop
smoking? The answer: no. But for real, how could we have a solution for this
problem? Let us first understand why it is hard for people to quit smoking.
When a person quit smoking, his or
her emotions become different the way it is before. Even if they aren’t a type
of person that is sensitive and emotional, the longing to smoke can make them
turn into such person. They may find that it is tougher to stay in control,
keeping their nerves calm and their temper low. For teenagers, some decides to
avoid their parents, since thinking about their lack of love and guidance for
them makes it worse. These are some of the feelings that youth is going in
quitting smoking, which is why it is not that easy. Gratefully, there are
methods to handle through these approaches and to handle one’s temper and
anger.
The greatest treatment is
avoidance. This is real for any illness, as well as taking away the symptoms of
it. If you know what makes you mad, you can simply avoid it. After knowing what
makes you angry the most, you must avoid what causes you to satisfy your desire
to smoke. For many people, the cravings are caused by going back to places,
individuals and memories from their past that have them smoking a lot. Once you
start missing smoking, the tendency for you is to begin to feel uneasy, grumpy,
and easily enraged. Effort to clear your mind is a step to simply handle the
situation. This could include avoiding people and places that reminds you a lot
in doing such things, but it will be an essential step to make changes to your
life if you are going to take this seriously.
Lastly, seeking help to people
makes everything better. Find someone you know who CAN HELP YOU A LOT. I tell
you, talk to a family member or a friend who you trust the most, and they will
never fail you. Ending certain vice, like smoking may not be easy, but through
effort and help from others, one can successfully go through with it.
