Teen smoking (problem - solution)

Lately teen smoking has been a problem. Teens are smoking in the park, under the bridges, and in town. All of these are places away from adult supervision. They are smoking because they think it is cool and because the are being persuade into it. I am concerned about teens smoking because it can lead to diseases and health risks.

One solution to stop teens from smoking would be to educate teens and parents. We could school programs about smoking. Kids would realize what would happen to them if they started smoking. They would not want to have these health conditions or health risks. The more education kids and teens have the less chance the would actually have to smoke. Something else we could do to stop teen smoking  would be to get guest speakers to talk teens about smoking. More teens will realize that they are about the only ones smoking, Teens are likely to listen to what other thinks about smoking.

Secondly, we could do to stop teen smoking would be to advertise not to smoke. Teens will realize the others are wrong about smoking being good. The advertising will also get kids attention. Although the are a lot of things to try to stop teen smoking any education will help teens decide not to smoke.

Finally, another solution would be to improve media. Something we could do would be to stop magazine ads. Teen will read the magazines and discover what are they doing is not in the magazine anymore. The will think that smoking is not popular and will quit. We could also ban smoking on TV and movies. Improving media is an efficient solution because teens just want to improve their public image.

As you can see teen smoking has become a problem. Most teen do it just to be cool. Others do it because of peer pressure. There are many solutions and we should try some of them.
