Teenage smoking rates go higher and higher each year. They start at a young age and get addicted to it. Some teenagers got started by getting pressured by their friends, some started smoking because they think it is cool, and some teenagers smoke because their parents smoke and they figure it is okay. Teens get their cigarettes by either their parents or someone who is old enough to buy them. No law or even raising the price of the cigarettes are going to stop the teens from smoking.
Teens save their money for gas for their cars and to get cigarettes.
There are many places where teens are allowed to smoke, so this doesn't help the issue any. We also did a survey on what types of cigarettes teens smoke.
