smoking addiction Page 072.0 WHICH FACTORS PLAY A ROLE IN ASMOKING ADDICTION?Studies have shown that people underthe age of twenty are more likely tostart smoking than people above theage of twenty. There are more men thanwomen that smoke regularly. Onaverage, 3,2% of students between theage of 12 through 16 smoke daily, thushave a smoking addiction. Studies havealso shown that foreigners are morelikely to have a smoking addiction thannon-foreigners. For example, 59% ofTurkish men living in the Netherlandshave a smoking addiction, whereas 31%of Dutch men have a smoking addiction.There is a bigger chance that teenagerswith divorced parents will start smoking.People with a higher socioeconomicstatus are less likely to start smokingthan people with a lower socioeconomicstatus. On average, 6,7% of studentsdoing vmbo-b smoke daily, whereas0,8% of students doing \ANO smokedaily. There are a lot of factors that cancause a smoking addiction. There aresocial factors, availability factors,personal factors and behavioral factors.2.1 SOCIAL FACTORSUnder social factors we think of (forexample) the role their parents have; ifthe parents smoke and what they thinkof smoking. There is a bigger chancethat children with parents that smokewill also start smoking.U If the parents think it is normal tosmoke, then their child will probablythink the same. A study (Emory et al.,2010) researching 19 other studies,showed that by 16 of the 19 studies,researchers found a connection betweennon-smoking rules of parents and theiradolescent children. This study hasshown that the association betweenrules of the parents and their childrencame out to be stronger in familieswhere the parents did not smoke.Moreover, another study showed thatnon-smoking rules have a protectiveimpact on the transition betweennonsmoking and experimenting withsmoking. Setting up non-smoking ruleswhen they already are experimentingwith smoking is less effective.They also found that non-smoking ruleshad no effect when the father smoked,but when the father did not smoke therules did have effect. They concludedthat when the behavior of the father didnot match the rules, the rules would nothave any effect on the adolescent.Not only the parents play a role, theirfriends do too. It is very common, peerpressure. Adolescents fear rejection oftheir smoking friends. They believe thatif they do not smoke, they will not bepart of the group. So, they will startsmoking to feel like they belong in thegroup.
smoking addiction Page 082.0 WHICH FACTORS PLAY A ROLE IN ASMOKING ADDICTION?2.2 AVAILABILITYAvailability factors also play a role in asmoking addiction. When the price ofcigarettes decrease, people are morelikely to buy them since they arecheaper. So how much does it cost(nowadays) to be a smoker daily? Onaverage, a chain smoker smokes 10cigarettes a day. One pack of cigarettescontains 19 cigarettes (Marlboro), whichcosts 6 euros. 10 x 7 = 70 cigarettes perweek, which is 3,7 packs a week. Thismeans 191 ,6 packs a year, which isequal to 191 ,6 x 6= 1.149,47 euros ayear. So, smoking is not only bad foryou, it also empties your wallet.2.3 BEHAVIORALResearch shows that a smokingaddiction is related to behavioralfactors such as driving under theinfluence of alcohol, antisocial behavior(aggression, theft and vandalism),unsafe sexual behavior and poor schoolperformance. It is a pattern ofrebellious, recalcitrant and deviantbehavior. When doing one rebelliousact, people are often inclined ofcontinuing these acts, whereas smokingis one of them.2.4 PERSONALPersonal factors also have influence ona smoking addiction. When speaking ofpersonal factors, you can think of theability to resist peer pressure when itcomes to smoking. Depression, othermental illnesses and personality traitssuch as thrill- and sensation seeking andbeing extrovert are also personalfactors which can lead to a smokingaddiction. Then of course, biologicfactors, which the rest of our paper willbe about. Some people are moresensitive to addictions than others, dueto a genetic predisposition. We willfocus on this specific factor throughoutthe rest of the paper.
