Say No To Smoke, The Most Effective Way to Refuse Smoking
69Why smoking? this is a common question that usually ask for smoking people. Culture of smoking has influence teenager right now. This is as a reason to get friend. And kind of facilities in society or community. Obviously it was wrong. There are many positive activities to get friends, including the following extracurricular school, study club or another positive activities. This is a big problem for younger or teenager. They try to smoke a little by little. This is the sign of addiction. As a young person, they are very easy to accept invitations. With solidarity or society reason. Maybe some of them difficult to refuse the invitation.
Sorry, I don't like smoking
As a teacher I am very concerned about the current conditions. Many teenagers try to smoke. And it looks common things. Why do they act like that? Sometimes as parents we educate them well at home. but we do not know the condition of our children outside. Therefore, religious and social control have instilled early. To avoid the things that we don't want it happen to our children. Spirituality have a big role to create good habit. As a parents we have to give a spiritual motivation to our teenager, I believe when they have good spirituality they will think twice doing bad things. Better to create spiritual environment at home. Like going to church together for Christian. Or going to church for Muslim.
At least they know which is good and what is bad. Education also has a big role in affects their minds. Health education such as the dangers of smoking and the consequences that would arise if smoking. Kind of education will give an overview to them to think twice before doing bad things. This can be found at the school. Education give a big portion to manage teenager from bad habit or bad influences. .
Don't do this!
There are several solution about the effectively and politely to refuse friends invitation in smoking. the solutions like :
- Avoid hanging out with friends who smoke, try to give a reason to refuse the invitation in hanging out.
- Don't afraid to express your feeling that you are not smoking, and you really don't like doing it.
- Expand information about the dangers of smoking. I think we know many information toldĀ that there were many disease caused by smoking. I am not explain in this hub,
- Convince yourself that smoking is not a tool to get friend.
- Avoid all of the things that support in smoking, like t-shirts, hats, posters or advertisement by the tobacco industry.
Teenager has long future. All teachers and parents want they become health, clever, tough, polite, and much hope for them. This hub also not for smoking but it can be implemented in various case like drugs. I think as a teacher and parent we had give the best thing for our teenager and always pray for them. I hope this hub become inspiration for me and all the hubbers......thanks.

Thanks jiberish for supporting this hub. But it's not to late to give some advice to the teenager around us, especially to our son or daughter. I hope we can do it well. To send the healthy message.
This is great! I just hope it gets to hubby's head. :)
Great advice prasteio30. It's not just enough to say no - but as you brought out in your tips, you have to avoid the temptation all together. Thanks.
It's so ironic that we are as parents, adults, teachers, or people who care really hope that teenagers will stop smoking but the government does not seem to care. Remember that the cigarette companies are the highest payer of taxes and absorb many workers too! I'm sick of the cigarette's commercial that seem to reach the young people with creative activities (like LA indifest, think Black etc ), you know what I mean.
Great hub:)
Thank God I was never tempted to that. Thank you for your hub.
Thanks LanceLonie, Veronica, Febrie and Hello. I am not smoking at all. But the fact my environment like my friend, my relative are smoking person. Indirectly I am become passive smokers. I also get a bad effect of smoke. Like all you said I was never tempted also. For Febrie, this is become dilemma to know that our government doesn't do anything. I agree with you , the most of tax income for our country came from the cigarette company. I really understand about your feeling. I wish I could say about this to the government.
Absolutely correct. Parents need to talk to the children early about the dangers of smoking and the must not smoke themselves. Let their children know that they strongly support efforts to ban smoking and how dangerous second hand smoke can be.
Good gesture for preventing smoking.
I smoked for a very long time until I was too afraid to continue. Quitting was the hardest thing I ever did.
Great hub, smoking is a very bad and expensive habit. I don't see why people pay to help shorten their life. Great hub man, thanks.
I quit 20 odd years ago but unfortunately hubby still smokes. I live in hope though,
I'm glad you wrote this hub. I HATE smoking to! My husband smokes and I pray that he will stop! I have never done it and always tell people to stop!
Best, GPAGE
Thanks for breakfastpop, retellect, ethel smith and GPAGE for supporting this hub and I think all of you concern about healthy life. I am concern about healthy, why I break the role with kind of this habit. For breakfastpop,I hope you could quit from smoking. I believe you can do this. For retellect, I agree with you, why people spend their money just for smoke. It kind of wasting the money, isn't? Congratulation for Ethel who share your experience in quitting from smoking. GPAGE, don't worry your effort not be in vain as long as you still remind him. I hope your husbands will stop from smoking as soon as possible. And I pray for you. thanks to all........
