PERAN BIMBINGAN KONSELING DALAM PENCEGAHAN MEROKOK PADA REMAJA

Abstract

The habit of smoking is believed to provide pleasure for the smoker. Such as the development of high confidence in adolescents and increased ability to concentrate when facing problems. Smoking is a behavior that should not be maintained because it is very dangerous for health. Although everyone knows about the dangers of smoking. However, many young teenagers are already smoking. Based on this assumption, the number of smokers in Indonesia is very high. Today, smoking is a common thing in the lives of teenagers and often occurs in various places. But in reality, smoking behavior has a lot of negative impacts on the smoker himself. One of the roles of Guidance and Counseling (BK) is to provide assistance and facilitate students who experience problems related to the prevention of smoking behavior and reduce/reduce these negative behaviors. Guidance and counseling efforts in overcoming cigarette use are by using individual counseling services that are carried out once a week, group counseling and collaboration with parents.
