Adolescent Tobacco Cessation - Teen Tobacco Use Prevention
Approximately 60,000,000 Americans smoke...including 18 percent of adolescents age 12-17. In fact, most new smokers are teenagers, particularly girls. Tobacco use causes more deaths each yearin the United States than AIDS, alcohol, cocaine, heroine, homicide, suicide and motor vehicle crashes combined? Smoking is a major risk factor for heart disease, lung cancer and chronic lung diseases-all leading causes of death? Each day, 6,000 persons younger than age 18 try their first cigarette, and more than 3,000 of them become daily smokers? One thousand of these young people will die of smoking-related causes.
