Nearly a 25% of the high school students in the U.S. smoke cigarettes. Another 8% use smokeless tobacco. Smoking has many health risks for everybody. However, the younger you are when you start smoking, the more harms it can cause. For example:
* People who start smoking before the age of 21 have the hardest time quit.
* About 30% of youth smokers will maintain smoking and die early from a smoking-related illness.
* Teen smokers are more possible to use alcohol and illegal drugs.
* They are more likely to have panic attack, anxiety disorders and despair.
Parents and other adults who work with children can help by caution them of the risk of smoking. They can also set a good instance by not smoking themselves.
