As Jeannie Cameron suggests 'Prohibitions and bans do not prevent young people doing anything.' I wonder what a psycho-social research lens, that can extend to and reflect the attitudinal stance of young people might reveal?
Psycho-Political too?
For example, what proportion - motivation for - behaviour is to be seen within peer group as reacting alternately, negatively, rejecting, protesting... to medical, elders, studies, 'sound' advice?
To what extent will young people always want to 'cock a snook'?

Amid other stated drivers advertising, shop fronts, appeals to young people, films ... what research (mixed-?) methods and methodological philosophies might articulate / capture this?
