When they cannot finish their lessons, they copy from their classmates. Then they don’t do homework by themselves. Then they fail in the exams. And they lose their interests in their studies. If they see other boys smoking, they also want to learn to smoke. When they get older, the habits become so strong that they can never get rid of them. And smoking is harmful to their health.
