Three million high schoolers and middle schoolers reported using tobacco
this year, and this is all, according to
a new report from the CDC and FDA E cigarettes
were the most commonly used. But they also reported
using cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco. Researchers warn
that these products contain nicotine and that can harm a
young person's brain and it could also increase their risk
of addiction to other drugs in the future, the
director of the FDA Center for Tobacco Products said in
a statement on thursday, it's clear there's still more
work to be done to reduce cigarette smoking among our
nation's youth.
