Fatima Yasser wrote Thursday, September 21, 2023 08:00 PM Smoking It is a common thing. We may find some young people smoking cigarettes and shisha, but when a mother discovers that her teenage son smokes, she feels extremely disappointed and frustrated and wants in every way to find a solution so that she can get rid of this dangerous habit, but she reacts harshly to the matter, which makes her son stubborn. He continues this habit.
Therefore, Al-Youm Al-Sabea spoke with Dr. Mohamed Mowafi, a consultant psychiatrist at Kasr Al-Aini, who confirmed that there is a psychological disorder that young people escape through smoking, and this disorder is in the environment surrounding them. He refuted that some young people imitate those around them or by watching some scenes. In which the heroes appear with cigarettes, and they are accompanied by the belief that smoking helps reduce feelings of tension.
Mowafi explained that young people’s curiosity helps them undergo the experiment, which begins with smoking and sometimes ends with addiction such as drugs or alcohol. We may find that there are some families in which the mother and father smoke, and therefore it becomes easy for the teenager to smoke because of his surrounding environment. .
The teenager’s lack of feeling of importance in his surrounding environment, as well as the presence of a lot of free time, makes them more likely to accept smoking and adopt it as a habit. Society and its customs and traditions also play a major role. Society has spread a false belief, which is that smoking is linked to masculinity, and this is a false belief practiced by many young males to To fall into the adventure of smoking.
Therefore, the psychiatry consultant provided some advice to help prevent the teenager from entering the cycle of smoking, including:
1- Monitor the content presented on television screens, and avoid showing scenes that contain smoking.
2- Avoid providing means of smoking inside the home so that children do not feel that this is normal.
3- Attention must be paid to providing the activities that young people must do, in order to encourage participation in some important social activities.
4- Urging the teenager to exercise to strengthen his structure and body.
