What happens when your kid watches Brad Pitt in a Fight Club puffing away a cigarette or when his eyes fall on smoker Julia Roberts in a Hollywood flick, doesnt he gets completely mesmerized and develops an uncontrollable urge to try out that flaming little white piece which his favorite heroes and heroines are shown to be completely addicted to, in movies. Is it a truth that kids are heavily dragged into smoking if they watch their favorite stars doing the same in flicks?

To a certain extent, the above postulation appears true in case of children for they are not in complete control of their minds and heavily influenced by whatever is happening around them. Due to lack of maturity and an inclination to be influenced by others` thoughts and opinions, kids do commit mistakes at times and as such it becomes the duty of their parents to safeguard their wards from the evil influence of the vices prevailing around them.

This vulnerability of children is exposed by a research result appearing in the British Tobacco Control journal which figured out that students belonging to the age group 10-19 are more prone to be influenced by cigarette smoking if their favorite stars smoke onscreen than those (of the same age) whose revered actors have never taken part in smoking scenes.

The factors postulated above indeed show the vulnerability of children towards cigarette smoking but in no way Hollywood scenes depicting bigwigs like Leonardo DiCaprio and Sharon Stone smoking continuously, the only factor that leads all the youngsters to the evil influence thrust of smoking.

Mind that peer influence and the idea that smoking is manly are associated factors that can lead your kid and your friends son or daughter to the threshold of smoking addiction!
