12 to 13-year-olds admitted they had tried cigarettes in 2001 Lots of people try lots of things without it being a life-long endeavour. Just because they tried it, doesn't mean they kept on with it.
How many 12 to 13 year olds actually smoke by the time they're 18? That's the true number!

As with all else that comes out under the Obama admin - it is likely a precursor to taxing the hell out of “unhealthy” foods in order to “save” us.

our local TV news reported that teen smoking is at an all-time high with 1 out of 4 teens beginning to smoke before age 18.
Looks like the Sturgeon General, one of the most useless posts in our useless government, didn’t get that report yet. Ah, what she left out is the variation on the old "jobs created or saved gambit" -- look how much worse it would be if they hadn't done what they did!
