SER-BUSCH THE
Teen-agers realize
smoking dangers,
but keep puffing
The Associated Press
Jane looked around at her high
school classmates and said in a
whisper that she bought her first
pack of cigarettes when she was
nine and shared them with a
friend.
Since then the brother she
looked up to got into drugs from
cigarettes, she said, and her father,
also a smoker, got throat and lip
cancer.
About a third of American teenagers
do some smoking or use
chewing tobacco, according to the
fl ^ fVnrpr fr?r Flicpncp Prmtrnl
They also have found that twice as
many white high school students
smoke as black students, and that
the number of black students who
smoke has dropped significantly
since 1976, while the number of
whites who smoke has leveled off.
Gary Giovino, chief epidemiologist
at the CDC's Office on Smoking
and Health in Atlanta, said the
reasons for the racial disparity are
still unclear.
"If current patterns of cigarette
use continue, 5 million of the kids
alive todav will die from smokine
attributable diseases," Giovino
said.
Youngsters smoke for many reasons,
he said. But he heaps much
of the blame on the tobacco
industry.
"Tobacco billboards pair smoking
? something addictive and damaging
to your health ? with images
that are very appealing, images
that are sexy in some cases;
cool, slim and macho in other
cases."
"I don't think about it," said Kacey
Holden, 14, who smokes a
pack a day.
"I know all about what it does,"
he said. "It blackens your lungs
and stunts your growth. But it
didn't happen to me."
