DO you beleve they are related !! what I mean is that, the more educated people are they less there are smokers???

I remmber few years back I used to witness younge boys smoking .. alot of them! Nowadays, I dont know .. I feel they are less youngsters smoking. I remmber a rule came that any shops should not sell cigiretts for children under 18 years. Is this effective??

The most I hate is seeing a younge boy smoke. It hurts me because this boy has decided to kill himself when he is so younge!!!

Arby,
I dont see a correlation there at all. I think its like a trend...sometimes its considered quite fashionable to be a smoker, and other times its not.

Right now in Australia, sadly, it is quite a growing trend, especially amongst the young female demographic. But give it a couple of years or so, a bit of anti-smoking campaigning and the trend will shift yet again.

hmm...i think its getting worse.....but ...with a smart edge! :eek: as those youngsters know how to hide the fact...and learnt how to keep it to themselves...

which means by being educated the got smarter with how to cover up..:rolleyes:

but again...i would agree that there are alot....able to say NO to it easily...because of their awareness of its dangers..and effects on the health.
