There are hundreds of answers to this question but the main reason why most teens of nowadays smokes is peer pressure. Though Sometimes the parents might be smokers but in a case where the parents are not smokers, then peer pressure can cause it.
That is why we need to teach our children and show them how to do things in God's way. That way, they won't keep bad company and they will not be influence negatively either by friends or people around them.
Other reasons why kids smoke are
Most of these smokes e.g tobacco, cigarettes, marijuana are affordable for kids
And when kids sees their mates smoking, they sees it as something new so they'll love to try it.
Another reason is because most teenagers want to be independent.
Like I said earlier, there are lots of reasons why teenagers smokes.
So teens and youths of nowadays love to try something new whether good or bad.
So the only way to prevent this is by teach them God's way and trying to isolate them from bad company.
Thank you
