Is teenage smoking in the US increasing or decreasing?

it is increasing. No matter how hard you try to stop them, teens will still find a way to smoke. At my middle school, students do it in the bathrooms. They also lie to their parents about staying after school with a teacher just so that they can run off and smoke with friends. My opinion, you should monitor your child. Look at their lips. If you see a tinted color of their original shade, they are most likely smoking. Also check their breath. Teens may try to hide the smell by sucking a peperment or eating mint gum.
