I. Attach High Importance to the Great Significance of Control of Cigarettes among Adolescents
Tobacco smoke causes grave harm to the health of adolescents. Adolescent smoking can cause serious harm to many systems, especially their respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Nicotine contained in tobacco is toxic to cranial nerves, which can cause memory loss, mental retardation and so on. Nicotine has strong addictiveness. Once one is addicted to smoking, it is difficult to quit. The earlier the age at which one starts smoking, the greater the amount of smoking in adulthood and the greater the harm of tobacco caused to the body.
