Smoking Stars

Research suggests that if a teenager’s favourite film star smokes, they are more likely to find it attractive and not see the negative implications of the habit. A study was done where children aged 10-19 were questioned on their smoking habits. They were then asked to choose their favourite film stars and it was discovered that those whos film stars smoked had more favourable opinions on smoking than those whos stars didn’t.
