Description

Each day in the U.S. over 3,800 youth under 18 years of age start smoking. Today nearly one in four high school seniors and one in three young adults under age 26 smoke. Of every three young smokers, only one will quit, and one of those remaining smokers will die from tobacco-related causes. This report examines in detail the epidemiology, health effects, and causes of tobacco use among youth ages 12 through 17 and young adults ages 18 through 25. Tobacco data on young adults as a discrete population is explored. Also highlights the efficacy of strategies to prevent young people from using tobacco. Examines the social, environmental, advertising, and marketing influences that encourage youth and young adults to initiate and sustain tobacco use. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
