Smoking is one of the worst things you can do to your body. Yet every single day, some kids and teens start smoking. Why?

There's more than just one answer. Some kids may start smoking just because they're curious. Others may like the idea of doing something dangerous — something grownups don't want them to do. Still others might know lots of people who smoke and they might think it's a way to act or look like an adult.
