Description:

Cigarette smoking has been identified as one of the leading preventable causes of disability and premature death in the United States (l), The relationship between smoking and disease has made the reduction in smoking prevalence one of the major public health goals of the Nation, The United States Public Health Service has set a goal that smoking prevalence in the United States be reduced to 15 percent by the year 2000 (2). Achievement of this goal will require a major reduction in the uptake of smoking by youi!g Americans, Rates for adolescent smoking prevalence differ among various surveys (l); however, prevalence as high as 36 percent has been reported (3). Uptake of smoking by adolescents is one of the primary barriers to reducing smoking prevalence, Teenage smoking behavior has remained relatively steady throughout the 1980’ s, although smoking among the adult population has decreased (l).
