Now why exactly is tobacco harmful,well first off one single puff can cause 43 CANCERS! Also there are 250 harmful chemicals(and that's only that we know of) when dipping and chewing or using any kind of tobacco you are at a higher risks for oral cancers.

Now that you are aware of the harm tobacco use causes you can say no. Teenagers in particular have a hard time saying no just try one of these options to get peer pressure off your back:
"No thanks"
"No thank you, you really shouldn't smoke it can hurt you!"
Or just shrug it off with a joke!

When your around your group of friends it might feel like your the only one not using tobacco, sometimes you don't feel "cool" or "popular" because of it. But while your friends are torching up behind the school or at someone's house you gain so much more! Like:
White teeth
Clear skin,no wrinkles
and a healthy diet!

Because of all the harm it does to your body, and the fact that it has NO BENEFITS why do teens even begin?
Well being a teen I think it's because of:
Curiosity
Wanting to look 'cool'
One of their family members smokes
Thinking that by doing it you look older(matured)
*Trying to imitate celebrities

Next time your thinking about torching up or trying anything that involves tobacco, take a minute and ask yourself "What am I doing to my body?"
