LDN - Where They Stand

The Hallway Buzz

Quotes and photos for The Hallway Buzz are submitted by the Lincoln Community High School journalism class taught by Rita Vaught.

The question is:

"With all the warnings as to the health risks of smoking tobacco products, why do young people still smoke?"

Responses from LCHS students are below.

[Amanda Miner, sophomore]

Teens start smoking because it’s cool, and then they get addicted to the nicotine.

[Jenna Behle, freshman]

Teens try it once to see what it is like and then they can get addicted. Some of the advertisements make it look cool and also other kids are smoking.

[Zach Laubenstein, sophomore]

It’s cool. Advertisements make it look like nothing will happen to you if you do smoke.

[Rachael Liesman, junior]

People look at billboards and magazine articles and think smoking would be cool. They see friends smoking and start to fit in.
