Why focus on physical activity?

Young people may start smoking for one or several reasons, such as ignorance of the health risks of smoking, peer influence, other social environments such as imitating family members who smoke, or even because of massive promotions by tobacco industries.

Smoking can cause long-term problems for young people, such as the inability to focus at school, non-communicable diseases, misuse of money to buy cigarettes, and difficulties managing anxiety and stress.
