Getting Teens to Quit Smoking

If telling teenagers that smoking and cigarettes are bad for them and can lead to a lifetime of heath problems would get them to quit or prevent them from starting, then most kids would be fine. But it's not that easy. And teens who smoke become adults addicted to smoking and tobacco. In Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, school and county officials are working together to reduce the number of smokers, especially the number of young people who smoke. There's a cessation program for teens at local high schools that helps students change their habits and many groups are advocating raising the tobacco tax, which may make cigarettes too expensive for kids to afford.
