Smoking Statistics for Adolescents Get Worse Every Year

from: Welldec


How sad it is that the smoking statistics, particularly for adolescents, get worse and worse every year. With all the research being carried out, scientists and doctors are able to accurately tell what damage is being done to our bodies and the harmful effects of smoking. Yet, despite all the damming evidence that has come to light, young people in particular, are still taking up smoking at an alarming rate. Unfortunately they are suffering the consequences with increased cases of asthma, heart disease and cancer.

Here are some statistics:

Smoking statistics by age.

About 6,000 adolescents, i.e. under the age of 18, take up smoking every day. Work that out on an annual basis and it's getting very close to 800,000 new adolescents lighting-up each year.

Approximately 90 percent of smokers begin smoking before the age of 21. According to the latest smoking statistics in 2001, a national survey of high school students revealed that the overall prevalence of current cigarette use was 28 percent. Nearly 20 percent of 12th graders, 12 percent of 10th graders and 5.5 percent of 8th graders smoke cigarettes daily.

Smoking statistics by number.

It is estimated that at least 4.5 million U.S. adolescents are cigarette smokers; that's the equivalent of the population of the state of Alabama. If current tobacco use patterns persist, an estimated 6.4 million children will die prematurely from a smoking-related disease. Adolescents who smoke regularly find it just as hard to quit the habit as long-time smokers.

Of adolescents who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime, most of them report that they would like to quit, but are not able to do so. And smoking statistics have proven that cigarette advertisements tend to emphasize youthful vigor, sexual attraction and independence themes, to appeal to teenagers and young adults struggling with these issues.

These smoking statistics do not just affect smoking alone. Tobacco use in adolescence is associated with a range of health-compromising behaviors, including being involved in fights, carrying weapons, engaging in high-risk sexual behavior and using alcohol and other drugs.

Scientific research and data should always be used to better one's behavior as one increases in knowledge, however, smoking statistics bear out that this just isn't happening with today's adolescents. Despite all our research and knowledge, they still continue to smoke every year, and will continue to suffer the consequences of their decisions.
