- Title
Smoking in Children: A Habit or Fixation?
- Authors
JUNEJA, Akanksha; SULTAN, Amina
- Abstract
Even though most of the Indian population lives in a joint family system, where the focus of attention for the family is the child; still smoking in childhood and adolescence is very much prevalent. What is most disturbing about this fact, three-quarters of adolescents who smoke frequently carry on smoking as adults. It brings us to the point that, do we need to think of any other alternative, or do we need to shift our focus to some other direction? Should the focus be shifted from habit to years of psychological and personality development of the child?
