Today smoking has become a must for the young generation. what can we do to stop this? We do not have any reply to it because all the preventive measures have failed. Even the warning on the cigarette packet is useless. The pictures of health hazard is just a colour design for these people. I think the only solution is to ban the sale of cigarette in one's country. What is your opinion on it? Please share

Showing a picture with someone dying because of smoking,or with testimonies,or warning don't do anything.This is because,being teens,they feel indifferent.They just don't think this can happen to them.That's why many get pregnant,and or STD.
One of the most effective way is,unfortunately,the agony of one's close person:parent,sibling,friend.Sometimes even that person himself/herself.And even that doesn't work sometimes.
We can say that we have done the most we could do to warn.If they want to stop,congratulate them for doing something that few do.And if they don't want,that's it.Respect their decision.Maybe they will figure out on their own how much they lost(From money to health) and will stop until it's too late.
