FUTILE EFFORTS OF ANTI-SMOKING CAMPAIGNS
1. The World Health Organization reports that 3,5 million people die every year from tobacco related diseases. Half of these deaths occurs in industrial countries. Anti-smoking campaigns have been started in most developed countries - banning tobacco advertising in the mass media, increasing cigarette taxes and requiring health warnings on cigarette packages.
2. For the first time in a quarter of a century the number of women smoking is on an increase. Statistics show that it’s the youngest women who are increasingly taking up the habit.
3. The habit is on an increase among teenage girls while it is falling in all other groups of the population. Now almost one in three girls of school-leaving age are smokers. Teenage girls who smoke believe cigarettes help keep them slim, make them look grown-up and control stress, health experts say. And while they know the risks to their future health, they would still rather smoke.
4. Health experts are puzzled as to why the anti-tobacco message is not reaching them. Dr. Anne Charlton said «We do not really know why they keep taking up smoking when every one is giving up.» Teenage girls are twice as likely to start smoking if one of their parents is a smoker. They probably have a best friend who smokes and parents who do not disapprove of their taking up the habit. They are more likely to leave school at 16.
