This is the first major update of adolescent smoking behavior since the groundbreaking reports of the Surgeon General & the Inst. of Med. in 1994. Highlights some progress toward reducing tobacco use among adolescents but also highlights areas in which more efforts need to be made. Several chapters examine trends in adolescent smoking behavior, among all adolescents nationally, different racial/ethnic groups, & among adolescents residing in specific States. Other chapters examine these trends using different national surveys as data sources & different analytical methods. Finally, the remaining chapters present data on macro-level policies & factors that influence the initiation & maintenance of smoking behavior among adolescents.
