Here’s something that could get kids to never light up – a new study in the American Journal of Public Health finds telling teenage would-be smokers that the habit may make them fat down the road may be a more effective deterrent than focusing on the risks of heart disease and cancer. Finnish researchers say smoking during teen years strongly predicts who will be obese later in life.

I think smoking is the worst curse you can do to yourself as a young person! It will control your life until it casts you aside at a miserable end.
The only way to stop the problem is to eliminate the entire industry! Telling a teen- ager what will happen to them when they are old, LOL!!!
A lot of teens and young women think smoking helps them stay thin. Hopefully they will get news of this study.
Of course peer pressure is still a key.
