Cu cât începi să fumezi mai devreme, în adolescență, cu atât riscurile pentru sănătate cresc. 🚭☝🏻

In this short Romanian dialogue, Speaker A explains that the earlier a person starts smoking or vaping during childhood or adolescence, the faster their lungs deteriorate, leading to the onset of serious respiratory disease much earlier than typical. The average age at which the disease 'explodes' is 40‑45, but early smokers can experience severe symptoms as early as 35, with half of their lung capacity already reduced. Speaker B asks whether people are beginning to smoke earlier today, and Speaker A attributes this trend to peer‑group contagion: adolescents adopt smoking or vaping if it is accepted within their close friend circle. This social pressure contributes to the "rejuvenation" of emphysema, meaning emphysema develops at a juvenile age, causing critical breathing difficulties well before middle age.
