Moreover, the researchers tried to disseminate campaigns with slogans like "Is this what your kiss tastes like?" which was used before by the World No-Tobacco Day celebration in the 90s. It simply emphasized the effects of smoking to the view of the opposite sex to those who smoke.After which, a series of interview had proved that teenagers had now been aware how smoking can actually deglamorize their appearance, their whole being and personality to the opposite sex.
Conversely, the main reason why teenagers decided to quit smoking is based on their fear of not being accepted by their opposite sex. This goes to show that they value physical attraction and fear of rejection more than health. These are greatly reflected on the answers of some teenagers who asserted that they would rather date someone who does not smoke than somebody who smokes and smells really bad.
All of these things boil down to the fact that when teenagers become aware about the effects of smoking on their health as well as on their physical appearance, they tend to quit smoking or do not try at all. It's just a matter of awareness.
Then again, it could be well noted that advertisements really do have an impact on smoking habits. That is, if people will only be less exposed to cigarette advertisements; there would be a more considerable decline in the number of smokers.
Indeed, smoking can really deglamorize one's personality, and so, it's just about time to stop smoking and think about how it really makes you stink to the opposite sex. Just think about it.
