WHAT IS SMOKING?
Smoking is when you inhale and exhale smoke from burning plant material that’s rolled into a wrapper (cigarette). You light the end of the cigarette and pull smoke into your mouth through the other end. It travels down your airways, into your lungs and through your bloodstream to your brain and other organs. This piece focuses on smoking tobacco cigarettes, but you can also smoke cigars, pipes, marijuana (weed/pot) or herbal cigarettes.
Initiatives that have worked to tackle TII: Increasing the Legal age to buy tobacco products uniformly to at least 21 years is the answer Special media campaigns to make youth aware of TII, which are more effective when done in educational institutes and families are involved. Raising taxes leading to increased prices of tobacco/nicotine products leads to decreased youth use and non-smokers may not start using expensive products. Tobacco marketing to youth especially through social media needs to be curbed.
