Around this time, your once-loving child may become an uncontrollable creature and is more likely to try out harmful habits like smoking.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reasons vary as to why kids start smoking. Concerns about popularity and social acceptance are common during adolescence. Teenagers who lack confidence and assertiveness are more vulnerable to the influence of their peers and more prone to start smoking. People may smoke to relieve anxiety, anger, depression, or boredom. Some young people may falsely believe that smoking facilitates weight loss or increases physical vitality. For some, smoking becomes an ingrained routine simply because they are constantly exposed to tobacco products.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Young people are typically the ones who begin smoking. Based on the National Population Health Survey (NPHS) 2020, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moh.gov.sg\/news-highlights\/details\/increase-in-minimum-legal-age-for-smoking#:~:text=25th%20Feb%202021&amp;text=Based%20on%20the%20National%20Population,to%209.8%25%20in%2020171.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smoking prevalence among our youth aged 18-29 years was 8.8%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around half of all smokers eventually succumb to their habit. Inhaling secondhand smoke is responsible for the deaths of around 1.2 million non-smokers each year. Smoking is associated with an increased risk of death, as well as addiction, a decline in physical fitness, an increased risk of lung cancer, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s common for parents to feel helpless when it comes to shaping their adolescent&#8217;s actions, yet they have more sway than they give themselves credit for.

For example, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI want to stop smoking so that I can save money for food.\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As a parent, you have to motivate them to make a similar list and gently remind them to read it whenever they&#8217;re tempted to light up.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a strategy: Smoking can be given up in a number of ways. Either by ending it completely or gradual reduction &#8220;slow and steady&#8221; can be a viable method for giving up tobacco. Using a technique that is familiar to you can keep you from losing interest in quitting smoke.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take away all cigarettes, lighters, ashtrays, and matches to eliminate smoking&#8217;s allure from your home.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can postpone smoking by distracting yourself with activities like deep breathing or drinking a glass of warm water whenever you feel the temptation to light up. When the impulse to smoke arises, try to resist it for as long as possible. Never forget that you will feel better after the craving passes.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Divert your attention; start doing something you enjoy. If you and your teen smoke, maybe it&#8217;s time for you to take up something new together. Taking up a new interest is a great way to refocus your energy and mental capacity on expanding your horizons and enriching your life. More quality time spent together as a family is always a plus in a child&#8217;s development.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a parent really wants to help their child quit smoking, they should have open conversations with them about the benefits of giving up the habit. Instead of trying to argue or fight with your kids, consider showing them compassion and understanding instead. Ask gently if they would like to share their feelings. Keeping your children up-to-date on the many methods available for coping with withdrawal is also helpful.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Successful parenting techniques might have a favorable effect on your teenagers. Nonetheless, if your kids do become smokers, that is not a reflection on your abilities as a parent. If your kids are smokers, maybe you can use what you&#8217;ve learned to help them quit, and if not, at least you&#8217;ll have a better idea of how to raise healthy, responsible adults.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s crucial to have the proper conversation with your kids about the risks of smoking if you want to influence their decision-making.
