And while most teens seem to agree that smoking is bad for you, a surprising number still light up. In fact, according to the federal government, every single day, about 3,200 kids will try smoking for the first time. To give you an idea of just how many that is, 3,200 is more than the entire population of the town of goshen, connecticut. Theres a lot of kids that smoke over on the skate park.

Advertising that promotes nicotine addiction. Examples include in 194 legislation banning smoking in workplaces, 1997, legislation banning vending machines, 2003 legislation requiring tobacco permits, and 2013, the ban of smoking in outdoor spaces. The result of these actions have been a major, major has had a major impact on the smoking rate decline in San Francisco. We went from almost 20 in 1990 down to 12. 5 today. Taking the stand these products have saved many lives and millions of dollars in tobacco related medical treatments.
