According to the CDC, more than 3,000 young people become regular smokers every day, which is more than 1 million new smokers each year.
However there is a little bit of good news; according to the CDC, cigarette use among High School Students (United States, 1991-2003) showed a decrease in teen smoking from a high of 35% to 22% in 2003.
Unfortunatly that still means that 1 in 5 teens smoke.
Even more disturbing is 17 percent of of 9th graders were reported smoking. That rises to a high of 26% in 12th grade.
So in conclusion, about 20-30% of young people smoke cigarettes.
Cigarettes
In New Zealand and Australia they were about 2/6 that is 25cents decimal.
My dad used to send me into the store to get his cigarettes, and I was ...gawd, I was 15 then. There really weren't any laws about kids buying then. It was assumed you were getting them for your mom or dad. Shoot, we even had tv commercials for cigarettes - check YouTube for those. Hysterical, now.
No one really worried about MPG back then, but I figure it was in the single digits to low teens as a v-8
