why does cigarettes give you peer pressure?

Answer 1

Because it isn't as cool to smoke now as it once was, and you have stinky breath, hair, and clothes when you smoke. It also makes a girl look trashy to smoke, not to mention the bad health that comes with smoking. Why spend as much as $35.00 on a carton of cigarettes, as some cities now have sin taxes on the cigarettes, on something that has nothing positive to offer. You might as well light your money and watch it burn.

This is a link that shows how much money is wasted on cigarettes.

Answer 2

Cigarettes don't give you peer pressure. Peer pressure is when your friends (your peers) encourage you to do something you were resisting doing. Peer pressure isn't always bad, but it can be. For example: If your peers are encouraging you to try smoking.

However, cigarettes DO give you high blood pressure. This is because nicotine causes your veins to constrict (tighten). This is what gives you the sort high you feel when you smoke. Over time, your veins become hard and brittle which is when you will develop high blood pressure and heart disease. Long term smoking or using tobacco in any form is a way to guarantee yourself heart disease.

Answer 3

Your peers always want to look cool and go along with the crowd to be thought smart. Most people are followers and just a few leaders. You'll be the smart one not to ever smoke or even breathe the second hand smoke that has lots of poison in it not good for your lungs!

Answer 4

Cigs don't give you peer pressure, your friends do.

I don't know why anyone, with the knowledge that is readily available and told to you on a daily basis, would even consider smoking even one cigarette.
