Under the guidance of counselor and physician, adults can quit smoking. But this possibility is next to impossible in case of teen smoking. Pre- teen age is an age in which we want to gain each and every experience whether good or bad.
Our habits start developing at this stage like smoking. Most of us take first puff only to boast it about to our friends and later on it becomes a harmful habit.
Steps to Be Considered
Some steps can help parents to ensure safety of their child:
- Generally a child learns from the habits of his parents. If you are a smoker then the foremost step needs to be taken by you. Get yourself free from the smoking habit and try to figure out the bad effects of smoking in front of your child. If a child sees his parents using good manners like eating healthy food then he is likely to follow those good habits. On the contrary if he sees his parents smoking, he surely takes up that. Only verbal explanation would not help. You have to practically put them.
- Tell him about the harmful effects that smoking leads to like it blocks the bloodstreams, robs the face charm and causes pale look. Try to encourage kids more about good habits by telling them about its consequences like healthy skin, active body, and physical fitness.
