Unfortunately, even for me that work with teenagers for more than 20 years already the so called scare tactics are enormously difficult to make teens convinced of.
For most of them, thinking of the deadly consequences of smoking is as difficult as making them think of any other aspect of a distant future. I often faced some negative answers of my students such as "if we die of nicotine that only is going to happen in a distant future".
They just don't get it easily and for many of them a cigarette works like a "weapon" of re-ensuring their "place" in one of the two poles of the generation gap.
Nevertheless I'm working against this tendency and won't quit until they find out that it's not that easy to quit (although they say they will quit easily one day).
There are less kids smoking now than in the past (adverts are forbbiden and is not a fashion like onvce upon a time.
As far as teens are concerned I think IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE unless the governments and officials forbid nicotine.
