Campaign For Tobacco Free Kids - Tobacco VS Kids: Where American Draws the Line
Did you know that: More than 5 million children alive today will die prematurely from smoking-related illnesses? Nearly every adult who smokes (almost 90 percent) took his or her first puff at or before the age of 18? Or, that increasing tobacco taxes is an effective way to prevent and reduce smoking, especially among kids? These research findings and statistics, outlined on fact sheets and in a series of ongoing research reports, can be found here in our Research Center. Whether you are wondering which brands of cigarettes teens prefer, or how much the tobacco industry spends on advertising its products, chances are you will find it here.
