Statistics from a US study in 2005 indicate that 23% of high-school teens smoke, up 2% from the 2003 figures. 80% of smokers begin smoking before the age of 18, indicating that the line "I can give up any time" is self-delusion. Worldwide figures from the website below (see link) show that one in five teens between the ages of 13 and 15 smokes, whilst between 80,000 and 100,000 children worldwide take up smoking every day. About half of these teens live in Asia. One of the factors that should be addressed in reducing teenage smoking is peer pressure. All the health warnings in the world will make no difference as long as teens think that smoking is "cool".
