Myth or Fact?

Myth: Smoking is cool.

Fact: Actually, most teenagers don't think that smoking is cool. In fact, 67% of teenagers say that seeing someone smoke turns them off.  65% say that they strongly dislike being around smokers. 86% would rather date people who don't smoke. Many teenagers think that kissing a smoker is like licking a dirty ashtray; perhaps this is why the percentage of those who don't want to date smokers is so high!
