Now that we are in the vicinity of a number of primary and secondary schools, we can always see a disturbing picture. In between classes, on the way to school, in the corner of the wall, in the building and in the alley outside the school, students in school uniforms are occasionally caught in the clouds and mist. Among them are not only senior boys, but also some girls, who have a variety of cigarettes in their hands, as well as “chips” disguised as snack pen boxes. Repeated school bans have been posted and teachers have repeatedly warned parents that smoking in schools is still not completely eliminated, and many children have become involved in smoking at an early age。
With this in mind, many people simply think that children are just mimics and that students are smoking, essentially using smoking as a “social pass” to fit into a small circle. Today's young people are particularly concerned about peer perceptions, and several of their classmates smoke, and they are marginalized and confused if they do not follow suit. Just like playing games and gossip, smoking becomes a means of getting closer to their eyes. Research data show that nearly 60 per cent of smokers first smoked from the same class of friends and out-of-school partners. The idea that smoking together is one's own people, you don't want to harm, you get used to it。
By the way, it is also clear that a large number of students use smoking as a tool for “maturity” to mask their inner confusion and stress. Children in adolescence, eager to get out of childhood, want to learn to act like adults. In their eyes, the smoke looks even better. When there is a lack of education, when there is tension with the family and when there is a distress in the heart, there is also a loss of consciousness. In one urban health survey of primary and secondary schools, it was mentioned that 30 per cent of smokers speak openly about smoking as a way to ease their emotions in the event of a bad mood, misusing cigarettes as a “pressure decompressor”。
There is also an interesting thing, the covert sale of fancy cigarettes, which is becoming a “back-to-backer” in students' smoking. When ordinary cigarettes are strictly controlled, traders get the wrong idea, make them look like candy, toys, drinks, and they are cheap enough for students to buy them with little money. These smokes are extremely mobile and can be sold quietly in front of the school at the commissary and mobile vendors. It is difficult for regulation to be comprehensive and for children to have easy access to it and to stop smoking. Based on current trends, this type of smoke will continue to be refurbished and will continue to penetrate the campus perimeter。
A small cigarette, which appears to be an insignificant little move, can damage the body of adolescents step by step and distort values. Young people should grow up with sunlight and should not be covered by smoke. External constraints, peer guidance, and the management of the surrounding environment require each link. Don't let the wind and confusion delay the path that should have been bright。
Have you ever seen a student smoking at school? How do you think you're going to direct these misguided kids
