There are many ways the media influences teen tobacco use.

One way is modeling. If a celebrity uses tobacco, teens may see it as 'cool' and want to do it. If they see celebrities eschewing tobacco use, they may think smoking is bad and not want to do it.

Another way is exposure. Merely being exposed to images of people smoking may increase a teen's desire to smoke (even if it is not someone they admire).

Any way the media can make smoking seem cool or not cool will affect teen tobacco use.
