Dear students:

In our campus and around us, we can see many students smoking. College students have become an important part of smokers, and the proportion of boys is far greater than that of girls. Therefore, I think the phenomenon of college students smoking has become one of the focuses of social attention, and it is also the focus of school leaders, teachers and parents who care about the healthy growth of children.

Personally, I think there are so many college students who smoke, and the motivation for smoking is nothing more than the following:

1, chasing up and down, blindly following the trend. Watching others smoke, I feel very handsome and cool. I think it's a trend, so I follow it and get addicted over time. College students are in the transition period of entering the society. They are exposed to more things than ordinary people and like to pursue fashion more than ordinary people. So following the trend and blindly following the trend may be the main reasons for college students to smoke.

2. When encountering setbacks and failures, use smoking to relieve troubles. In the process of stepping into society and independence, college students will inevitably encounter many setbacks, such as the most common lovelorn, the contradiction with classmates, the failure in job hunting practice and so on. If college students can't handle these problems well, they will start to be decadent and extreme, so many people choose smoking to solve their troubles, and these people become part of smokers.

3. Be encouraged by others. There are many smokers around college students: parents, relatives and friends. With the growth of age, people around us begin to agree that college students are adults, so they will hand cigarettes to college students on many occasions. Whether the behavior is really malicious or not, encouraging college students to start smoking is indeed an influential encouragement.

Harmful substances in smoke:

As we all know, smoking is harmful to health. Different cigarettes release different chemicals when they are lit, but the main chemicals are tar and carbon monoxide. Harmful substances produced by cigarette ignition can be roughly divided into six categories:

(1) Aldehydes, nitrides and alkenes can stimulate respiratory tract.

(2) Nicotine can stimulate sympathetic nerve and cause intimal injury.

(3) Amines, cyanide and heavy metals are all toxic substances.

(4) Radioactive substances such as phenylpropyl pyrene, arsenic, cadmium, methylhydrazine and aminophenol. These substances are carcinogenic.

⑤ Phenolic compounds and formaldehyde, etc. It has the effect of accelerating cancer.

(6) Carbon monoxide will reduce the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen to the whole body.

Although smoking can temporarily cheer up the spirit, it will be addictive and harmful to the body, and second-hand smoke will also hurt people around you. The health hazards of smoking mainly include:

1, cardiovascular: related to coronary heart disease, aortic aneurysm, arrhythmia and venous infarction of lower limbs.

2, cancer: it will lead to lung cancer, laryngeal cancer, oral cancer, esophageal cancer and so on. Smokers are 20 times more likely to get cancer than non-smokers.

3. Lung diseases: related to chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, pneumonia, asthma, tracheitis and pneumothorax. 15% smokers will have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (emphysema, chronic bronchitis).

4. Others: it will cause stroke, peptic ulcer, osteoporosis, periodontal disease, cataract and other diseases.

The harm of smoking goes far beyond these. So, how can we solve the problem of college students smoking? I am incompetent and think we should start from three angles: society, school and individual.

From the social point of view:

1. Although it is impossible to prohibit the sale of cigarettes to college students, it is necessary to make certain regulations and restrictions on the purchase of cigarettes by college students.

2. Use the power of public opinion to guide college students away from cigarettes.

From the school's point of view:

1, focusing on the root cause: in addition to dealing with offenders, it is more important for schools to psychologically guide them, correct the cause and prescribe the right medicine. Otherwise, it will only be a temporary wind, which will not last long and will not achieve the goal of radical cure.

2. Set an example: the school should raise all teachers' awareness of the seriousness of smoking hazards, ask them not to smoke in front of students, and mobilize the teaching, political and educational affairs office, the Youth League Committee, the student union and other departments to organize forces to form an atmosphere of smoking-free education.

Personally speaking:

1. We should learn about the dangers of smoking, form the habit of opposing smoking, and strive to do a good job of non-smoking.

2. Establish a correct outlook on life and values, cultivate good living habits and mentality, and improve their ability to face setbacks.

3, to appropriate communication, communication depends on the object, communication way, don't make bad friends, just make good friends, don't smoke because of any bad factors, especially the elder brothers, keep a positive psychology.

4, should follow the advice of the school about smoking cessation or anti-smoking organizations or promote smoking cessation knowledge, to ensure a high degree of smoking vigilance.

College students are coming social builders and shoulder the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation, but the bad behavior of smoking is destroying countless college students. Let's join hands to create a smoke-free campus and a smoke-free society. Starting from ourselves, from now on, let's thoroughly understand the harm and disadvantages of smoking and stay away from smoking areas and nicotine! !
