The most important task in the psychosocial development of children under the age of 18 falls on families. In order for the child to acquire the values that make life meaningful, to become an individual who loves life and cares about his own body, there must be healthy adults that he takes as an example. A person sets an example not with his words, but with his behavior.
Addiction is not just an individual disorder, it is a family disease.
DO NOT REACT SUDDENLY AND NEGATIVELY
“First of all, you should control your emotions and avoid giving a sudden and negative reaction. You will then need to identify the person who will talk to the teen about his or her problem. This person should not smoke, should handle the problem in the most constructive and calm way, and should be equipped to deal with the reactions of other family members. Instead of conversations made from above with negative commands such as 'don't smoke or don't', it is important to be a team with the child, talk about addiction, approach it with understanding, identify together the factors that cause the onset and continuation of smoking behavior and find appropriate solutions.
The reason that initiates cigarette addiction may be the child's attempt to be accepted in an environment of smoking friends. This is one of the most common situations.
Rejecting friends may cause the young person to fall for these friends even more.
For this reason, it would be good for the child to meet both his friends and their parents.
Parents should come together and form a valuable alliance.
Imposing bans, getting angry uncontrollably, or punishing results in failure. What I learned from my conversation is this: It is necessary to direct our children to social activities that instill the awareness of living and keeping alive, and to support sports activities.
HOOKAH IS AT LEAST AS DANGEROUS AS CIGARETTES
Children under the age of 18 should not be allowed into hookah cafes. I will mention. According to the World Health Organization, hookah consumption is increasing. However, its sale to children under 18 is prohibited. Despite this, it is sold. Remember, it is at least as dangerous as smoking!
One hour of hookah consumption is approximately 30 times more effective than a cigarette in terms of tar.
One hour of hookah consumption is approximately 35 times more effective than a cigarette in terms of carbon monoxide. It is as effective as horse.
An hour of hookah consumption is approximately 4 times as effective as a cigarette in terms of nicotine.
This effect is 2 times more effective for arsenic, 15 times more effective for chromium, and 35 times more effective for lead, which is a heavy metal content.
It is also dangerous for passive smokers.
Hookah disrupts the body's blood pressure control and negatively affects heart functions.
In short, it is necessary to review the control mechanism of state institutions. needs to go through it. Parents and teachers have a great responsibility. Operators should not harm our children for "money".
