Smoking is a choice each individual is perfectly capable of making. It is legal once over the age of 16 therefore nobody should be judged for it as it is personal choice. As long as nobody else is suffering from another smokers habit, which thanks to new government laws is now restricted, it is the individuals choice to inhale smoke into their own body.
If a person aged 16 or over chooses to smoke then it is their right, however, underage people should not be encouraged by friends or otherwise to smoke. It is an unhealthy habit and causes many health problems. To start out of purely wanting to look cool is wrong.
Surveys show that the number of underage smokers is increasing and I believe that most smokers start their habit whilst at school through peer pressure and trying it with their friends and then becoming addicted.
