blog#16 (revision of cat#2)

        Young adolescents from ages 10 to 14 start smoking threw imitation of rated-R movies. In a excerpted  from Nicholas Balakar, says research done by dr. james d. Sargent did a study of children who had great exposure were most like to start smoking, then those who were expose less. i can agree with dr. Sargent that young adolescents can be influence to smoke by watching a rated- R movie. for example, from a action movie called the "terminator " or "die heart". i can remember these two movie being popular when i was growing up that many kids i knew replicate them self's to.
                                          
                                  furthermore, in the movie terminator this was a popular movie when i was growing up. the terminator had cool distinctive look on him when smoking. having a black leather jacket, shades, and a bike. that to my friend and i was a cool look. from what i can remember there were about three occasion that i had seen the terminator smoking. unfortunately i was one of the less exposed to rated-R movies. the terminator was the first and last action movie i saw and was not influence to smoke.
                           Children who had greatest exposure to smoking in movies were more then two and half times proven by a excerpt to smoke. when the movie "die heart" came out that was how it set off a high percentage of my friends to smoke. growing up we all wanted to become cops. in almost every seen there was a white cop who would smoke constantly. so my friend josh and will at the age of twelve start smoked ever sense because of they thought it was cool.

                                  In conclusion, young adolescents  can be influence proof from excerpted by nicholas that came to find out by  dr. Sargent  that kids who are prone to a lot of rated-R movies will be influence  someway or other to be smoking  due to a thought of being cool. just like my friend did because by doing this he would be cool like the others and fit in. which they still till this day continue to smoke. so aside from being influence by a movie it can be a choice as well too from being pure pressured in to doing it by friends.
