Youth [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Smoking Has Stopped Declining-2
(Reference [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]) Smokeless [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]s Use Up; Elected Leaders Must Step Up Fight to Protect Kids from Newport Cigarettes
There is some reason for optimism. Last month, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced the first ever national [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Control Strategic Action Plan. It is critical that the federal government fund and implement this plan, including a national media campaign to prevent kids from smoking and encourage smokers to quit. The Food and Drug Administration must also continue to vigorously exercise its new authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing and sale of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] products. The FDA imposed new restrictions on Newport Cigarettes marketing and sales to kids in June, but the Newport Cigarettes industry is challenging even stricter marketing restrictions in court.
The Monitoring the Future survey is another reminder that the United States truly is at a crossroads in the fight against [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the nation's number cause of preventable death and disease. If elected leaders step up their efforts to implement proven solutions, we can accelerate smoking declines and win one of the greatest public health victories in our nation's history. If they fail to do so, progress will stop and even reverse, at great cost in health, lives and health care dollars. Especially in light of the new Surgeon General's report showing how thoroughly destructive smoking is to both individual and public health, there simply is no excuse for failing to fight [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] use with the political leadership and resources that match the scope of the problem.
There is no question that we know how to win the fight against [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. As the Monitoring the Future Survey shows, smoking rates (the percentage who smoked in the past month) have declined by 66 percent among 8th graders, by 55 percent among 10th graders and by 48 percent among 12th graders since peaking in 1996-1997. For the first time, the 12th grade smoking rate has fallen to under 20 percent (to 19.2 percent). However, youth smoking declines have slowed or stalled in recent years. In fact, the new survey finds a small, although not statistically significant, increase in smoking among 8th and 10th graders, a trend that could grow as these younger students age unless prevention efforts are strengthened.
Also troubling is the survey's finding that there have been significant increases in smokeless [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] use for all three grades over the past several years. Among 12th graders, 8.5 percent used smokeless [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] in 2010, a 39 percent increase since 2006. Even more alarming, 15.7 percent of 12th grade boys currently use smokeless Newport Cigarettes.
