Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that changing beliefs about the prevalence of smoking in young people can be an effective strategy in delaying the onset of smoking. By emphasizing that smoking is not as widespread among young people as they may think, it can reduce their perceived social pressure to smoke and make them less likely to start. Resistance training programs like DARE have not consistently shown to be effective in preventing smoking.
