Hey guys, i am simply astonished to see that youngsters are misusing the alcohol consumption and are getting increasingly addicted to smoking. I mean i cannot even stand the smell of cigarettes and even the very sight of alcohols is a major turn off for me. Being a 21 year old guy saying such things might sound funny for many but i do not understand what is so fascinating about smoking and alcohols that youngsters are paying more attention to it rather than on their personal and professional life? What are your thoughts on this? Do u have any answer to my question? Are u addicted to any of these? Please do share your thoughts!

I have never quite understood this addiction all my life. I have all girls and guys around me smoking. And cannot understand whats so great about a smoke. I had tried it once and was never tempted to try it again. I have had drinks a few times also. At parties a few times a year is okay. Nothing great that I would want to have it everyday!

Thanks for your valuable response. Yes u are absolutely right, drinks at the parties at times is absolutely OK but taking it on a regular basis just to show that you are the 21st century guys is totally an absurd thing. I am amazed to see how even small kids are also getting lured by this culture and i think there is as serious dearth of awareness among them about how dangerous they are in the long run. They need to understand this as soon as possible. What say?

Thanks again for your response. Well yes u are right, kids have to be groomed in such a way that they develop an idea regarding what is good and bad for them. if they are given enough freedom then they will go haywire in their life and will often fall prey to wrong company of their friends. Parents have a very important role in this regard and they have to play their role very effectively and strongly. What say?

Kids must be taught their limitations. Parents should educate kids from a small age about what is right and what is wrong.

Hi, An action, no matter how undesirable, if done regularly soon becomes a habit. It is just unfortunate that some people find the opposite way to make a habit. There are good ones as well as bad habits, and the youth should be guided accordingly to follow the right path that shall lead them to fulfillment and self-realization.

Thanks for your valuable response again. Yes u are absolutely correct, no doubt we all have good as well as bad habits but those bad habits should never become addictive types otherwise they will go and become a nuisance for us. I think the youngsters need to identify which one is good and bad for them. I think today's youngsters are not spoon feeding ones who needs to taught on every minute details and i think they have to be sensible and matured enough to know about all this. What say?
