Do you remember that time when you were an impressionable kid yourself? As a pre-teen or a teenager, you were in so much of a hurry to grow up that you think anything that adults do is cool. You try to grow up too fast and hate it when older people call you a kid. This could be the same feeling that your tween or teenage kid may have, and Hollywood flicks may just be the culprit.<\/p>\n

How Hollywood may influence teenage kids to smoke<\/h2>\n

Based on a recently released study, kids who watch a lot of movies with characters who are smoking may just be influenced to take up smoking themselves. What if you\u2019re the parent of a 17-year old boy who suddenly thinks that the habit is cool due to what he\u2019s seen from smoking in movies? There are things that you can do to prevent this from happening in the first place, which we will learn more about in the next section. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, let us first take a look at some Hollywood<\/a> flicks with onscreen smoking:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 James Dean in \u201cGiant\u201d<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 John Travolta in \u201cSaturday Night Fever\u201d<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Olivia Newton-John in \u201cGrease\u201d<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Uma Thurman in \u201cPulp Fiction\u201d<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Renee Zelwegger in \u00a0\u201cBridget Jones Diary\u201d<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Christina Hendricks in \u201cDrive\u201d
\nAs you can see, not all of these films are R-rated. Whether it\u2019s a <a href=”https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/smoking-cessation\/news\/20120709\/pg-13-movie-smoking-prompts-teens-to-smoke<\/a>“>PG-13<\/a> or R-rated flick, seeing smoking characters on screen may just influence your kids to take up on the bad habit themselves. The effect may be subconscious, but seeing an all-glammed up character smoking on the big screen adds up to that cool factor. The study has also shown that early exposure to smoking on screen may have a significant effect on kids to start smoking early.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What\u2019s a frazzled parent to Do?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a frazzled parent who would not like your kid to take up that nasty smoking habit \u2013 especially if there are no smokers in your household \u2013 what are you supposed to do? First, it does pay to monitor the media content consumption of your child. Watch movies with them and discuss which character traits and good and which ones are bad. Second, limit your children\u2019s exposure to R-rated movies. Kids whose parents restrict access to such movies are less likely to experiment with smoking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More importantly, always have \u2018the talk\u2019 with your tween or teenage kids. As long as kids are made aware of the message that a movie is trying to send out, they can see the less glamorous aspect of tobacco use and just maybe steer clear of the nasty smoking habit even as they grow into full-fledged adults.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
