Tough for teens to quit - Lifelines - smoking - Brief Article
Vibrant Life, May-June, 2002
Once teenagers start smoking, it's tough for them to break the habit. The National Center for Health Statistics estimates that 3.7 million teenagers smoke and that 92 percent of them say they don't plan to be smoking in another year. But only about 1.5 percent of them manage to quit. "Teenagers greatly underestimate the addictiveness of tobacco and greatly overestimate their ability to control it," says former Health and Human Services secretary Louis Sullivan.
