Don't Buy The Lies

That cigarette companies are addicted to underage smoking. Almost 90 percent of regular smokers begin smoking at or before age 18, and hardly anybody tries their first cigarette when they are older. In other words, if kids stopped smoking, the cigarette companies’ customers would shrink away to almost nothing. But thanks in large part to cigarette companies’ marketing efforts, about 4,000 kids try smoking for the first time each day, and another 1,000 kids become regular daily smokers.
