First of all, I think that the desire to smoke appear among young people at the
moment when social life is shifted from family to friends. This statement is deepened by
Erik Erikson’s theory. Erikson believes that every stage of development is characterized by
events and conflicts, specific tasks to be solved, that the child and later the adolescent, the
adult must go through and solve appropriately for each specific age or stage. Between
twelve and twenty years the teenager to form and develop a personal and vocational
identity. At this stage appear the adolescent’s frequently asked question: “Who am I?” In
my opinion identity crisis it’s the main reason that determines young people to start
smoking.
To sum up, I strongly believe that the desire to be popular, to integrate easily into the
group or the fear of being rejected because you are normal are the main reasons which
determines young people to start smoking.
