To effectively avoid peer pressure to use tobacco, the following strategies are advisable:
-
Say, "I don't smoke" - This is a direct and clear way to assert your choice not to use tobacco.
-
Plan responses ahead of time - Having pre-thought-out responses can help you feel more confident and less pressured when faced with peer pressure.
The options "Just try one cigarette" and "Pretend to smoke" are not effective strategies, as they could lead to smoking more in the future or normalize the behavior.
So the correct answers are:
- Say, "I don't smoke"
- Plan responses ahead of time
