After having the lecture on smoking I thought i'd talk about what attracts people to it, after all smoking causes bad breath, yellow teeth and smelly clothes? So why is there such a fascination about it? One of the problems in todays soceity is what is being portrayed in the media like magazines for instance, quoting “how to lose weight in 10 days”, “Smoking causes weight loss” Problems with these headlines in that they catch many young girls eyes who then feel the need to smoke to look attractive without realising it will cause addiction make them look unattractive and without realising there are other ways to lose weight than to get cancer at the same time. I personally feel that the media plays a big part in all this simply for the reason that as much as they can say that smoking kills what they portray within magazines is what attracts people to it as they see celebrities who smoke and class them as role models.
