youngsters are turning to smoking because they think it makes them appear cool.
年轻人抽烟是因为他们认为那样看起来很酷。 Does this sound natural?

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.

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."

It would sound better if you change "appear" to "look". 😊
