__**How does smoking affect your body? (Gonzalo San Roman)**__

One of the consequences in the short run is that there are more respiratory infections, expectorations, deterioration of the lung function (asthma and allergic symptoms), nicotine dependence, and sensation of low physical fitness and deterioration of growth.

Physical consequences on the long run among the most important consequences of tobacco consumption is chronic lung disease, cardiovascular diseases, and development of cancer. On the other hand adolescents that begins smoking have the risk of developing dependence and become regular consumers continuing like that when they become adults.

Adolescents are more prone to become tobacco dependent than adults. This is because the development of the brain in adolescents is more susceptible, they have more time of exposure to tobacco and more amount of consumption so they become more dependent.

Alcohol consumption triples in those adolescents who are engaged in cigarettes smoking. Cigarettes consumption in adolescents is a pathway that leads to the consumption of other substances such as marihuana, alcohol, and other drugs.

Studies have shown that those adolescents who consume tobacco may present more social and academic problems.

__**What can be an effective campaign to educate teenagers to not smoke? (Gonzalo San Roman)**__

Parents need to tell their teenagers that smoking is not aloud. Parents disapproval has a lot of impact in teenagers. Teen whose parents have set rules tend to smoke less than teens whose parents don't set smoking limits. The same goes to teens who feel close to their parents. Parents are role models, so parents are the first and most important parts of the campaign. Schools should have programs for teenagers so that they can handle peer pressure. Be informed about the consequences of cigarette smoking. Have more sports events and programs so that teenagers involved and feel the need to be in good shape physically in order to practice them. An effective campaign could be to call CEDRO to come to school each year and talk to the 5th graders or 6th graders about smoking and its consequences.

What do teenagers think about smoking?

An estimated 9 out of 10 smokers begin smoking before the age 18. Teenagers start to smoke because they think they are invincible and will not get the diseases. Teens also think that if their favourite actors or singers smoke they have to do it to be cool. Another reason is peer pressure or curiosity. They have family members that smoke and therefore think it is normal. They have not been educated about the affect of smoking or most of the disease and find it way of rebelling ageist society and their mom and dad. Some smokers smoke to relieve stress, while other smoke as a means to focus the mined and provide mental stimulation.Cigarettes are cheep. peer presser causes some teenagers to smoke. friends at school smoke and the teenagers want to fit in.

**__ How does a affective campaign work? __****__ (Jessica) __**

We need to make a campaign that teens will listen to and show what can happen if they smoke. For example:


 * How the skin will look if they start to smoke
 * How your teeth will look
 * How you hair will look

And tell them what they mite get If they start.
