You see it all over the place, teens everywhere are lighting up, and it's something that happens to be a major growing problem, and it seems like everything that's being done are all for not since they're getting them and they're constantly lighting up either way. The problem is that when it comes to getting them to stop, anything and everything that we do is going to have the complete opposite effect and they're just going to defy what ever is said.
Now currently the ones that are in charge are thinking that the solution is to hit the stores, and stop them from selling them in the first place, yeah too bad there happens to be a problem with that, and it's that the stores are not the problems at all. The problem is out side of the stores with the regular people (those like you and me for example, even though I don't smoke at all), giving out their cigarettes with out knowing that they're giving them to an underage kid. Also the problem is these days is that when it comes to ages, you can't tell by looking at them just how old they are (i.e. a kid (male or female) could be looking 18 and yet be 13, and no one would ever be the wiser), plus a lot of people that are smoking already are thinking that when it comes to others that smoke, it's of the mentality that hey it's their lungs why should I give a crap. Well considering all of the budget problems that we're having these days, and that they seem to be taxing everything in the world, it's no wonder that they can't come up with a solution for the problem any more, so they figure that they would just constantly keep hitting the stores, and the thing is, the stores are aware of the problem but are helpless to do anything about it in the first place.
No the only way that we're ever going to save the youth of the world from smoking, is if we can get people to stop "bumming" out cig's in the first place, and that's not going to happen at all. Personally I honestly wish that cigarette's would be gradually stop being made so that way not only could we save not only kids from smoking, but also adults as well. I know that it happens to be a multi-billion dollar industry, but it's time to end things when it comes to an ever growing problem that doesn't look like it's going to be quiting any time soon.
