How the Tobacco Industry Targets Young People

It's Easy for Kids to Get Hooked! Read this report from Hawaii Department of Health. (pdf)

In the U.S., more young people smoke (23%) than adults (20.9%).

2/3 of Hawaii high school students have tried smoking! Hawaii Department of Health. (pdf)

Each day in the U.S. about 4,000 kids try their first cigarette and every year there are 416,000 new youth smokers.

60% of U.S. smokers start smoking by age 14.

Over 80% of all smokers become addicted to smoking and tobacco products before they reach adulthood.

Once addicted, a teen can be expected to spend $1200 per year or more on cigarettes, and will remain a customer for an average 17 years.

Even though teenagers have the same tobacco addictions as adults they are not allowed to use the patch or gum to stop smoking.
