To effectively avoid peer pressure to use tobacco, the best strategies among the options provided are:
- Say "I don't smoke."
- Plan responses ahead of time.
These approaches help reinforce your decision not to use tobacco and prepare you to confidently decline offers. The other options, "Just try 1 cigarette" and "Pretend to smoke," do not effectively counter peer pressure and may lead to further use or appear as acquiescence to peer influence.
