Youth smoking

Youth smoking is an issue that affects countries worldwide. While the extent to which smoking is viewed as a negative health behavior may vary across different nations, it remains an issue regardless of how it is perceived by different societies. The United States has taken numerous measures—ranging from changes in national policy surrounding youth cigarette access to changes in media campaigns—in attempts to eliminate the use of tobacco products among adolescents. Approximately 90% of smokers begin smoking prior to the age of 18.
