Using Tobacco During Youth (Parent Guides To Childhood Drug Use Book 9) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

This concise publication is written in easy-to-read and to understand terms. It is especially written for parents, other family members and educators concerned about the effects associated with smoking in childhood. Although not illegal like alcohol and street drugs, both smoking and smokeless tobacco also pose health risks for the young user. The widespread availability of cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco and snuff make the use of tobacco products during youth a health issue to reckon with. Tobacco use is on the decline with adults. This is largely because of the growing scientific evidence that tobacco can lead to numerous health problems - including premature death. The costs related to health insurance and healthcare has provided an incentive to quit, and social pressures (such as smoke free workplaces, restaurants and airlines) have had a powerful impact on users of smoking tobacco products. These, and other factors, have caused many adults to change their attitudes and habits related to tobacco. Unfortunately, however, a growing number of young people have failed to notice, or take seriously, the anti-tobacco messages communicated throughout American society. Each year, hundreds of thousands of kids start smoking, chewing or dipping tobacco products. Some will only experiment for a short while, and then quit. Others will start a habit that may haunt them most or all of their lives. They will become addicted to nicotine and learn the hard way about the financial and health costs associated with using tobacco. Most users reach a time when they wish they had never tried tobacco. Many will attempt to quit, with varying degrees of success. • Some will stop and never again use tobacco. • Others will quit for a period of time (sometimes years) but relapse. • Still others will pursue an endless struggle to overcome the habit. • All tobacco users come to realize the powerful addiction of nicotine. Prevention and early intervention are fundamental ways to stop the health hazards associated with tobacco use. It is imperative that young people learn the facts about this addicting substance. They should be discouraged from beginning its use. If they already use tobacco, they should be helped to stop. Failure to abstain from or quit using tobacco at an early age can lead to a lifetime of regrets. Children that smoke and who do not believe the seriousness of being addicted to nicotine need only ask an adult tobacco user for their advice.
