• Description:
  Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and disability in the United States, despite a significant decline in the number of people who smoke. Over 16 million Americans have at least one disease caused by smoking. This amounts to $170 billion in direct medical costs that could be saved every year if we could prevent youth from starting to smoke and help every person who smokes to quit. ; In 2019, 36.5% of US high school youth reported currently using any tobacco product, including e-cigarettes. Among North Carolina high school youth, 8.3% reported currently smoking cigarettes. ; North-Carolina-fpo.pdf
