WHAT IS TOBACCO?
Tobacco is derived from the leaves of the genus Nicotiana, a
plant from the nightshade family indigenous to North and
South America. Archeological studies suggest the use of
tobacco in around the first century BC when the Maya people
of Central America used tobacco leaves for smoking in sacred
and religious ceremonies. Tobacco is a plant grown for its
leaves, dried and fermented before being put in products. It
contains nicotine, an ingredient that can lead to addiction that
people can smoke, chew, or sniff tobacco.

Prevalence, Tobacco Use (Boys and Girls)
Prevalence, Tobacco Use (Boys and Girls)
During 2019-2020, current use of any tobacco
product, any combustible tobacco product,
multiple tobacco products, e-cigarettes, cigars,
and smokeless tobacco among middle and high
school students decreased. These declines
resulted in an estimated 1.73 million fewer
current youth tobacco product users in 2020
(4.47 million) compared to 2019 (6.20 million).
Many young people use two or more tobacco
products.
•In 2020, Nearly 3 of every 100 middle school
students (2.8%) and about 8 of every 100 high school
students (8.2%) reported current use of two or more
tobacco products in the past 30 days.
•In 2019, about 12 of every 100 middle school
students (11.5%) and about 30 of every 100 high
school students (29.9%) said they had ever tried two
or more tobacco products.
Youth who use multiple tobacco products are at
higher risk for developing nicotine dependence and
might be more likely to continue using tobacco into
adulthood.

OVERVIEW:
Why Teens Start Smoking?
The overwhelming majority of adult smokers began smoking before age 18, and
many were addicted before they even finished high school. So, why do they pick up
that cigarette in the first place?
◊ Their parents are smokers.
◊ Peer pressure—their friends encourage them to try cigarettes and to
keep smoking.
◊ They see smoking as a way of rebelling and showing independence.
They think that everyone else is smoking and that they should, too.
◊ The tobacco industry has used clever marketing tactics to specifically
target teenagers.
◊ The price is right—in places where low tobacco taxes have kept the
price down, it is easier for kids to afford cigarettes.
◊ Most teenagers simply like to try new things, but they aren’t mature
enough to think of the long-term consequences.
◊ Nicotine is a "feel-good" drug without intoxication.

RISKS OF USING TOBACCO
Many of the chemicals in cigarettes, like nicotine and cyanide, are poisons that
can kill in high doses. First-time smokers often feel pain or burning in their
throat and lungs, and some even throw up the first few times they try tobacco.
People who stand or sit near others who smoke are exposed to secondhand
smoke, either coming from the burning end of the tobacco product or exhaled
by the person who is smoking. Secondhand smoke exposure can also lead to
