Social mobility theory

The use of social mobility theory can help prevent tobacco smoking among teenagers, due to the fact that tobacco use is characterised by a social gradient in which the social and economic status is often correlated with tobacco smoking. In this way, most teenagers are bound to join the habit when watch their friends Vape. According to the social mobility model, the vaping epidemic often spread among the most powerful groups, which begins with the middle class students then continues to become more common across all class of men and women (Srd, 2019). Once the habit continues, then the least powerful may continue with the habit, in this way, the social mobility model can be used to predict the models stages in regard to the tobacco epidemic which makes it easier to implement measures that can reduce the spread of the condition further.  The model is thus relevant in accounting on ways in which the student will depart from the class habitus as a manner of generational rebellion. The model thus has the potential to unsettle other practices that are looked at as cross class youth practices, thus questions the relevance of youth as being one of the most useful category of independent class and analysis (Srd, 2019).  There is also need to put more emphasis on the active of the peer tension among the teenagers through putting more energy on peer responsibility, rationality and care as part of the neglected aspects of the teen groups when fighting addiction to vaping.
