In 2008, 21.1 million (18.3%) women smoked in the United States compared to 24.8 million (23.1%) men. Although fewer women smoke than men, the percentage difference between the two has continued to decrease. Today, with a much smaller gap between men's and women's smoking rates, women share a much larger burden of smoking-related diseases.
The good news is that smoking is at historically low levels among 8th, 10th, and 12th graders, according to NIDA's Monitoring the Future study. In 2012, rates for smoking in the past month were reported as 17.1 percent for 12th graders, 10.8 percent for 10th graders, and 4.9 percent for 8th graders.

Tobacco companies have been known to target teens through marketing strategies that appeal to their lifestyle, such as sponsoring events and using bright, eye-catching packaging. They may also offer flavored tobacco products that appeal to younger audiences and use social media influencers to promote their products to a younger demographic.
There are many ways the media influences teen tobacco use. One way is modeling. If a celebrity uses tobacco, teens may see it as 'cool' and want to do it. If they see celebrities eschewing tobacco use, they may think smoking is bad and not want to do it. Another way is exposure. Merely being exposed to images of people smoking may increase a teen's desire to smoke (even if it is not someone they admire). Any way the media can make smoking seem cool or not cool will affect teen tobacco use.
Use of smokeless tobacco among teens had been showing a decline over the past decade-until 2009.According to the survey, current use of smokeless tobacco among 8th-graders was 3.7 percent and 6.5 percent for 10th-graders. Among 12th-graders, 8.4 percent reported using smokeless tobacco in the last month, a number not seen since 1999.

As I have read from the book entitled Teen Rights: A Legal Guide For Teens And The Adults In Their Lives by Traci Truly, it seems that teens have many rights except with many milestones like drinking, tobacco, drugs, etc.
