Kids in the US have really become ‘forward’, they do not like to puff in cigarettes but cigars. Yeah, puffing cigar is in vogue among American kids these days.
Cigarette consumption has reduced in the United States by 10% from 2000 to 2004 but the consumption of cigar has escalated to 28%.
Children think that cigars look fashionable since the high-profile politicians and others are seen smoking them regularly.
Not just politicians and women are promoting the stylish image of cigars, the culture too is saturated with images of cigar.
Children have this misconception that cigar do not posses health hazards as compared to cigarettes, which is quite wrong.
Kids generally start with the puffing business not for the sake of taste but to show that they have matured and assume it is a sign of growing up.
Here, parents have to intervene and try to convince them that smoking makes them stinky and smelly, not sexy and sophisticated. In addition, parents must take time to talk to them about their daily routine. Spending time together as a family, such as eating dinner together, can help make that conversation flow more naturally.
