| Tobacco is bad for health, I don’t like it and I don’t smoke |
I am not curious, I know about the effects in our body, what happens to our lungs…. it gradually destroys the lungs, (causes) breathing problems, I know very much because my grandmother had a lung infection…. she used to take the sweet tobacco…and she died (19, female, non-smoker) |
| I am not an addict |
smoking for me is not necessary, but I often do that…my headache stops when I smoke (female, 18, trying to quit) |
| I am an addict, but I can’t stop myself |
smoking is bad for health, but for me, smoking is an escape…now it has become an addiction (male, 20, smoker) |
| I am trying to quit |
Nothing is helping me. Actually, you just need a determination that it will have to stop because I have my family and they will not like it if I start having this problem (addiction) with myself (male, 18, trying to quit tobacco and other addictions) |
| It is not possible to quit |
They tried to quit but when they see other people smoking they also start…smoking is an addiction…I tried to quit smoking, I tried hard but now I am smoking again (19, male, smoker) |
