Interview of a Person , addicted of smoking

Q:When and why did you decide to start smoking cigarettes?

A: I was 17. My friends smoked. It seemed kind of cool, and I felt like it became part of a rebellious identity for me. I was kind of a innocent, so it was a way to rebel without doing anything truly scary.

Q. How did smoking affect your health and day-to-day life?

A: I noticed it was difficult for me to go up stairs and to catch my breath. Every morning I would wake up and cough up gross stuff. I would catch colds more easily. I couldn’t smell it then, but I began to once I started quitting. When I smoked, If it wasn’t allowed, I would have to leave my friends at the table and go outside. As more and more of my friends quit, I was left outside by myself.It was also expensive. I bought more packs than I intended to because I would run out faster than I thought I would — and that got very expensive.

Q: How many years did you smoke cigarettes?

A: I smoked for five years. By the end, I was smoking a half pack to a whole pack a day. At that point, I always wanted to smoke.Sometimes I had to smoke first thing in the morning, and there’s nothing grosser than having a cigarette at 6 a.m.

Q. What made you decide to quit smoking?

A: I always felt guilty about it, and I got tired of the health effects. I always knew I needed to quit, but I had to try between 5 and 10 times before I was successful.When I was in high school, I was a peer anti-smoking educator. I talked to younger kids and health classes, informing them about the health risks of smoking. I knew what I was doing to myself. Everyone knows it’s bad, but I had an especially informed perspective on it.

The Teen Mind• The Teen Mind differs from the Adult Mind

– The Limbic System, which is the centre for emotion, is well developed in adolescence

– The Frontal Cortex, which controls emotion, is not fully developed

• Psychosocial– This is a period of turmoil and a search for identity– Teens often turn to peers to aid in the search for

identity

Addiction• What causes Nicotine to be addictive?

– Nicotine binds to receptors in the brain that activate the reward system (limbic system)

– The smoker is rewarded for smoking which then positively reinforces the smoker

– Nicotine alters brain function in a fashion that requires nicotine in order to maintain normal levels of dopamine (neurotransmitter that acts in limbic system)

Addiction in Teens

• Is addiction different in teens?– Teens seek sensation due to there emotional

nature– Nicotine acts on the same parts of the brain that

cause there emotional states– Teens are more likely to start smoking because of

peers

WORK for NO SMOKING

• The goal is to educate teens and adults on what smoking actually does to the human body

• The field trip is designed to appeal to the emotional mind of teens

• In the end, this will reduce teen smoking
