Teenage smoking is a problem, there's no denying that as there are an estimated 4.5 million adolescent smokers in the US, but how does peer pressure fit into this? There have always been, and will probably always be, the "cool" kids at school and the "nerds" at school. If these "cool" kids start to smoke, they may encourage their friends to take up the habit. Other teens, especially the outcasts, might start feeling the pressure to take up smoking as well, just so that they will fit in with everyone else rather than become even more outcast.
Yeah, I guess that's all I have to say, kind of pathetic. I don't know if this is what the posts are supposed to be like, but I guess I'll find out. Link to the site with teenage smoking statistics is Here.
