Objective:
Tobacco use and nicotine addiction usually begin in adolescence. Approximately 80% of adults who currently use tobacco started smoking before age 18. One in three teens that are regular smokers will eventually die of smoking related causes. Therefore, preventing tobacco use among youth is a major focus of tobacco control efforts. The goals of comprehensive tobacco prevention and reduction efforts include preventing people from starting to use tobacco, as well as, helping people to quit and reducing exposure to secondhand smoke. |
