The cause and effect of the smoking habit of the students at AMA Computer College-Bacolod.
Conceptual Framework
According to the study conducted by Jerry Shaw (2010), nearly all cases of first time smoking use to take place before a person finishes high school, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). The younger people are when they begin to smoke, the more likely they will become adult smokers. Almost three out of four regular smokers in high school have
