Teenage Girls Smoking Influenced By Britney Spears
The Western Mail reports smoking is reclaiming a “sophisticated” and “cool” reputation as pop idols such as Britney Spears and Charlotte Church are snapped cigarette in hand, alarming doctors and anti-smoking activists who say the girls also turn to smoking to stay thin, risking their long-term health. “The big question is, where are these girls getting this information from, that smoking and being thin is cool?” anti-smoking pressure group ASH member Amanda Sandford asked. “The answer is, from the media they read and the films they watch – even the occasional photograph of a celebrity or super model smoking is enough to register in a young girl’s mind and she will consciously absorb that information.”
The story at walesonline.co.uk has since been removed.

I think that Britney has nothing to do with these girls smoking or doing other things that are wrong. the parents should be more involved with their kids and stop blaming the media!!

May our perfect heavenly father
love smoking by transfiguring
all discord into peace.
I have now switched to electronic cigarettes, and I strongly recommend that all of you do the same and stay happy by quitting the real smoking.
I know exactly what you mean. I’ve been a smoker for decades and although I know it’s killing me I don’t have the willpower to quit. But I found these new, “healthy” cigarettes that let me get my fix without damaging my lungs. Check out my blog!
