Define the Problem: The problem is that a friend is offering me a cigarette at a party.

1. Explore the Alternatives -I could take the cigarette. -I could refuse.

1.1. Consider the Consequences: 1. If I took the cigarette: -I would have lung problems. -I would become addicted to smoking, even though I was just trying it out. -This alternative is the most dangerous to my health. 2. If I refused the cigarette: -I would be safe from any health problems. -The friend will probably make fun of me because I was too scared. -This alternative is the safest but will probably break my friendship with that friend.

1.1.1. Identify Your Values: I believe that smoking is bad for my health and I wanted a smoke-free future. My parents don't smoke and they know that it is bad for my health. If I start smoking than maybe others will start smoking and put their health at risk.

1.1.1.1. Decide and Act: I decided to refuse the cigarette because it will be bad for my health. A friend can be a friend for a certain amount of time, but my health will be with me for my whole life. I'd rather lose that friend than lose my health.

1.1.1.1.1. Evaluate the Results: I think that my decision worked out for the best. It had made me a healthier person and I can be a role model towards others. I learned to refuse offers from people, even your friends, if they are against what believe.
