Smoking Teens
I just read on Naharnet that 60% of teenagers in Lebanon are smokers. 80% of teenagers in Lebanon smoke narguileh/shisha/arguileh.
That is an alarming figure. How can this be taken care of? By not allowing smoking in public places? I don’t think so.
Most parents tend to allow their children to smoke narguileh rather than cigarettes therefore, the children can smoke it at home or at narguileh places.
I think the best way to deal with this is not to allow people under the age of 18 to buy cigarettes or narguileh. Make it illegal for teenagers, not the rest of the country. I also think it should be illegal for those under 18 to be drinking either as well as to enter clubs (that has been implemented in most places). They should create clubs that open at earlier hours for teenagers.
