YOUNG SMOKERS

The teenagers usually begin to smoke from 13 to18 years old, putting to risk their health, for various reasons: - because their friends smoke - because they want to be independent and they want to do what they cannot do - because they want to imitate adults- to be "cool"

.

The Italian state has decided to abolish the packets from 10 and the spicy cigarettes (menthol, raspberry...)

to prevent the young people to smoke. Growing, teenagers that smoke, can have problems as

tumors and lung cancer.

This book explains how it's easy to stop smoking.

It was written by Allen Carr, a British writer, in 1985and he wants to make his readers free from tabagism according to his "Easyway" method.
