In an average high school class, of say 30 students, it is
fair to say that statistically 7 or 8 of them are using tobacco. This is according to the CDC (Centers for
Disease Control). Even in middle schools
more than 10% of the kids are either smoking, vaping, or dipping. Putting that in different terms around 5
million American teenagers are regular users of tobacco.
The report goes on to say that most tobacco use and
addiction begin during youth and young adulthood. At current rates more than 5 and a half
million kids under the age of 17 are projected to die prematurely from some
smoking-related disease. As more and
more adults quit this nasty habit more of our promising youth are discovering
it.
Don’t let your children make decisions about tobacco or
e-cigarettes without being armed with knowledge. Doctor Steven Sussman is a licensed psychologist
for kids using tobacco and other substances.
