Natural
It should be "to smoking", so you were correct. If you said "to smoke" in this sentence, it would mean they were "turning into smoke", haha.

Natural
If you wanted to use "smoke" instead of "smoking", you could say something like, "Youngsters have begun to smoke because they think it makes them appear cool."
