    STATISTICS ON PHIL.

    TEEN SMOKING

    2011

    NATIONAL YOUTH COMMISSION (NYC)

    *2 OUT OF EVERY 5 Fil teenagers smoke cig.

    GYTS(PHIL. 2011)

    *(SEE FACT SHEET SLIDE)

    2013

    YOUNG ADULT FERTILITY & SEXUALITY STUDY (YAFSS)

    *conducted by UP POPULATION INSTITUTE (UPPI) and DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH &


    DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION,INC (DRDF)

    *young people (15_24 y/o) who are current smoker declined from 20.9% (2002) to 19.7% in

    * found out that perhaps smoking has become:

    a) too expensive from then

    b) the youth has found other vices (like E gaming)

    c) they are just getting more responsible

    SO WHY DO KIDS/TEENS SMOKE?

    1. Peer Influence- give them sense of belonging,kids whose friend smoke are more likely to start
    smoking
    2. Adult Smoking- when kids/teens sees adult(esp. family members) smoke, they will percieive
    smoking as normal behaviour, something that is grown-up and mature
    3. Coping with Stress- just like adults, kids/teens can use smoking to relieve stress( nicotine inhaled
    by cig smoking rapidly activates the reward and pleasure area of the brain creating positive
    feelings and sensations)
    4. Advertising- unfortunately, tobacco companies often gear marketing towards teens and children
    (most people who become regular smokers start smoking in their teens)
    5. Media- when kids/teens see movies/TV shows where actors smoke, they are more likely to try
    smoking since they often look-up to them and want to emulate their behaviour

    WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT SMOKING? LOTS OF MY FRIENDS/FAMILY MEMBERS DO IT

     Think about this: 1/3 of all new smokers will eventually die younger than non-smokers of
    smoking related diseases
     This is what smoking does to your body: (slide: the effects of smoking on the body fact sheet),
    each time you take a puff of cig. You inhale 400 toxic chemicals
    Nicotine: the main substance in tobacco cause your heart to beat faster and work less
    effectively,highly addictive(you crave for it, feel nervous without cigarettes, try to quit and have
    trouble doing it), a drop of pure nicotine can kill
    Carbon Monoxide: a poisonous gas, takes oxygen from your body while many cancer causing
    chemicals go in(athletes who smoke can never reach the peak of their natural ability or do as
    well as non-smoking athlete bec. Their bodies get less oxygen, this is why coaches tell athlete
    never to smoke)
    Cyanide: deadly poison
    Benzene: used in making paints, dyes and plastics
    Formaldehyde: used to preserve dead bodies
    Acetylene: fuel used in torches
    Ammonia: used in fertilizers
     Smoking is Ugly: your teeth /nails turn yellow(disgusting), breath stinks(kissing someone who
    smoke is like kissing an ashtray), most teens would date someone who doesn’t smoke(so it
    makes other people not be around you), if you smoke you may not smell smoke on you but
    other people do
     Smoking at an early age increases the risk of lung cancer and other non-respiratory
    diseases(heart dis/stroke/other cancers)
     Teen smokers suffer from SOB almost 3x as often as teens who don’t smoke, produce more
    phlegm more than 2x as often as teens who don’t smoke( chornic bronchitis-serious dis of lung
    airways, emphysema- a crippling lung disease)
     Smoking cost a lot of money: do the math 1pack/day = x by days in a yr(could be using or
    spending on other things)
     Teen smoker are likely to have seen a dr or other health professionals for an emotional or
    psychological complaint
     Teens who smoke are 3x more likely than non-smokers to use alcohol, 3x more likely to use
    marijuana and 22x more likely to use cocaine
     Smoking is associated with a host of other risky behaviours such as fighting and engaging in sex

    SECOND HAND SMOKE

     Also known as “ENVIROMENTAL TOBACCO SMOKING”


     The smoke a smoker breaths out and that comes from tip of burning cigarettes/pipes/cigar
     Even if you don’t smoke, breathing in someone else’s smoke can be deadly too
     STATISTICS: causes about 3,000 deaths from lung cancer and tens of thousands of heart dis to
    non-smoking adults in USA

    THIRD HAND SMOKE

     Smoke from tobacco that clings to walls and furnitures(cars), ventilations in


    apartments/condo
     Pose a more sdrious health threat to young children than passive smoking( a new study
    warns)
     4,000 compounds in 2nd hand smoke can linger indoor long after cigarettes is stubbed out and
    these substances can react with indoor pollutants such as ozone and nitrous acid creatying a
    brand new compounds, some of which can cause cancers

    E-CIGARRETTES

     Are they Safe: nicotine inside the cartridges which is addictive(when you stop using it you can
    get withdrawal symptoms including feeling irritable, depressed, restless and anxious
     What Parents should know? 1. Nicotine can affect brain dev’t in kids/teens 2. Some E-cig have
    candy flavouring which could make them appealing to kids 3. They don’t have smell like tobacco,
    so its harder for parents to know if their kids are vaping

    TOBACCO USE PREVENTION THROUGH SCHOOLS

    SCHOOLS play a critical role in promoting the health of our nation’s youth and helping them establish
    lifelong behaviour

    School Programs to prevent tobacco use and addiction will be effective if they:

     Prohibit tobacco use at all school facilities and events at ALL TIMES
     Encourage and help Students and Staff to quit using tobacco
     Provide developmentally appropriate instruction in Grade k-12 that addresses the social and
    psychological cause of tobacco use
     Are part of a coordinated school health programs through which teacher, students, families,
    administrators deliver consistent messages about tobacco use
