It depends: The decision to continue smoking is an individual one and is influenced by factors such as family influences, economics, access, legality, etc. I know people who continue to smoke into their 50s and others who stopped.

Depends on the teen: Why is the teen smoking weed? Is there addiction in the family? Are they smoking to self medicate(depression) lets face it, weed is at least psychologically addictive and studies are showing that teens who habitually smoke weed can develope psychosis ... It kills motional drive ... Those teens who have their feet on terra firma will abuse neither weed nor alcohol weed is an addictive drug.
