Tobacco effects your entire environment. Not only does it worsen your appearance by yellowing and wrinkling your skin, and darkening your teeth, it also makes you smell like smoke and that can cause some people around to become nauseous or you may be smoking and getting others sick with second hand smoke. Also, it effects the people you become friends with. You are more likely to loose friends because of your smell or because they don't want to be involved with cigarettes. Then, the new friends you make are most likely going to be smokers as well because smoking will be something you will have in common. Having friends who smoke may make it hard to quit unless they encourage you to quit as well.

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.

The use of tobacco goes back to the 1700’s and the modern tobacco industry is one of the most powerful in the United States. They own companies like Pepsi and other things.

Tobacco companies put warning labels on products. They use to not have warning labels.

Friends can exert both positive and negative influences regarding tobacco use through their behaviors and attitudes. For instance, a friend who smokes may encourage others to try it, normalizing tobacco use and potentially leading to increased consumption.
