And recent figures indicate that more girls than boys smoke cigarettes. Teen-age females are more likely than males to begin smoking, and may be more susceptible to the social pressures to smoke according to recent studies. Many health professionals believe that the rise in female teenage smoking can be stemmed by educa- tional programs which concentrate on teaching social skills and tech- niques for resisting smoking temp- tations. In explaining why teenagers decide to begin smoking, the Ameri- can Heart Association points out that young people both boys and girls, usually begin to face pres- sures to smoke between the ages of 12 and 14. This is an age when they are moving away from their fami- lies and closer to their friends. Teenagers themselves suggest that pressure from friends is a major reason they start smoking. Most teenagers who smoke are likely to have friends who smoke. The family is also a major influ- ence on the smoking behavior of children. Parents serve as models. t t In families where one or both par- Comple es Suppor course ents smoke, a child is more likely to Honeywell, Marie Troxell, June Jones; second row, Gene Wert, Helen Davis, Tracy Davis, Helen Earles, Carolyn Straka, Alice Niskey; third row, Joan Williams, Joe Allen, John Rogers, Harvey Odell, John Bunney, Karen Niskey; fourth row, Dick Williams, Edward S.

And in families where older brothers or sisters smoke, there is an even greater chance that the younger child will acquire the habit. Additionally, young people may be influenced by cigarette adver- tisements, which generally show young and attractive people doing interesting and exciting things. What can be done in the family? Smoking should not be allowed in the home, and parents who feel they have to smoke should not do so in front of the children. In addition, parents should ask other adults who visit the home not to smoke. Parents can also try to discourage young people from smoking by sup- porting school and community efforts.

However, nails are safest when they are all equal and reasonable in length. An ideal length is when the nail tip extends 's the length of the body of your nail beyond the cushion of your finger. The shape of your nails should be rounded not pointed with straight sides. This shape makes the fingers look longer and gives extra support to the nails. about this special service, call the Shepherd's Hut at 717-823-9752. available only when a color print is used in the paper.
