This ultimately affects society structure. The reasons behind takingcigarettes and alcohol are- depression, unemployment, apart from family members, personalproblems related to relationship, etc. These days people go out for education or occupationpurpose, they live apart from families hence, this will make them frustrated and they startedsmoking (Crosby and Noar, 2010). There are possibilities that parents are working, and they do not have sufficient time fortheir children hence, this will make children to adopt those options. These days, there are partiesin corporate sector and employees are part of it so, sometimes person is forced to take it. There is3
