teenage girls smoke...

[monya]

to control weight. most kids - particularly girls- take up smoking to control weight. nicotine surpresses appetite and speeds up metabolism, so its easty to see the appeal of smoking. now youre wondering how many kids this affects. well they did a study and it shows that 50 % more 13 yr olds smoke now then in 1990 and 6% of either graders smoke cigarette every day. how sad is that???

[Preacher]

Thats really sad..wish I had never picked one up(but I'm working on that)

[Preacher]

5%...I'm gonna be in that category(everyone just watch)

[HuNniBuNcH92002]

Yuck!! Thats one thing I dont want to get into!! I think its soo un-attractive!! Gross!!

[B1ondieK7404]

i satrted smoking when i was 13 but i dont do it anymore bc my boyfriend really didnt like it but i really liked him so i quit but it was hard and come to think of it that is when i lost alot of weight and then i gained it back when i quit thats one of the bad things about quitting is that u gain weight.

[Nicolie Olie]

if i wanna lose weight i'll do it by exercising

[Preacher]

Yea....Not proud of the cigs right now

[Preacher]

Girls Guys this is what happens when you smoke in the long run..Observe

Sean, where on earth do you find these things?!

[Preacher]

Sean, where on earth do you find these things?!
Anywhere..Just think of somethin weird and type it in a search...(be surprised)

[HuNniBuNcH92002]

lol I guess so!! I would have never found that picture lol!!

[Preacher]

Yea you could have

[Nicolie Olie]

ok this is probably gonna sound dumb..but does he like not have a mouth and is the cigarette like growing out of him?

[HuNniBuNcH92002]

ok yeah it does lol!! Just kidding, yes he has a mouth, its folded over, and the cig. is in the fold!

[Preacher]

ok this is probably gonna sound dumb..but does he like not have a mouth and is the cigarette like growing out of him?
lol..hahahaha

[monya]

hey kids back on the topic. lol do you know any teenage girls that smoke to either maintain or to loose weight???

[Preacher]

I never asked a girl that question..She'd probly smack me!

[FordTwenty]

yeah i knew young girls that smoked to control their appetite... i think it's ridiculous because that only works for so long, then you get addicted, and it doesn't effect your appetite barely at all anymore. im in the process of quitting right now, i've been smoking for 5 years (since i was 15) and i am trying so hard, so it really makes me sad to see girls start up for reasons like that because when you want to quit, it's not easy.

[monya]

what ever gives them the idea for this??? do they overhear it from friends or how does that work??

[xoxoashleyxoxo]

ewww i would never ever start a habbit of smoking. that is sooo unattractive for a girl. i picked up a ciggereatte once and it was just gross.

[OohLALA-Bi0tch]

I've never heard of this before... i'm 16 and i've been smoking sence I was 13. Its gross I know and I really dont know why I ever started but quiting doesn't seem like an option. As much as I try I always end up picking one up. Also, hearing that smoking ciggs makes you lose weight horrified me. I myself am skinny and i've actually been trying desperatley to gain weight.

[natcawa]

That's so aweful. Smoking is just so unattractive. Studies actually show that smokers retain weight in the waste area, so basically the smoking to control weight is pretty useless, unless you want to have extra baggage in the stomach region. Whatev, just gross.

You need to pass that message on to the younger people you know, discussion and providing facts about the effects of it at an early age has proven to stop Teens from ever picking one up.

Remember it only takes 2 weeks to develope a Habbit. Meanwhile 70% of the people that develope and addiction to smoking want to quit shortly after, and only 5% a year actually pull it off.

My 5th graders at my other job are all (for the most part) pretty mature so Im very informative on how absolutley disgusting smoking is for you and other people..I think the more you talk about it the better exspecially if you'r there parent...I for one know alot of my kids know alot more then there parents would give them credit for
