CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the Study
Youth is most vulnerable to various types of social, physical and environmental influences. Peer acceptance, rebelliousness, popularity, gender identity is some of the key reasons of youth experimentation to different types of exposure mainly smoking (Muttappallymyalil et al., 2012). Every day around 80,000-100,000 young people around the world become addicted to tobacco (The World Bank, 1999). Therefore, tobacco industry feels that young people are vital to their products and in turn can either increase or maintain their market share (National Cancer Institute 2008; CDC- Fact Sheet- About Tobacco Industry Marketing 2011).
Smoking is a health risk, a pattern of behaviour usually acquired during adolescence. In Western countries, 13% to 35% of adolescents smoke. Youth is a time of experimentation and it is estimated that every day between 3000 and 5000 young people try their first cigarette. Tobacco use in adolescence is associated with a range of health compromising behaviours, including being involved in fights, carrying weapons, engaging in higher-risk sexual behaviour and using alcohol and other drugs.3 Smoking can be viewed as a rite of passage from childhood to adulthood. An adolescent’s first cigarette is usually obtained from a friend or family member. One third of adolescents who experiment with cigarettes will become daily smokers.
