Teen smoking is a very serious issue, besides the fact that smoking can cause many health problems including emphysema, high blood pressure, and various forms of cancer, studies have also shown that teens between 13 and 17 years of age who smoke daily are more likely to use other drug substances.

Nicotine is considered the number one entrance drug into other substance abuse problems. The earlier a teen begins using tobacco, the more likely he/she will continue using into adulthood.
