What percentage of teens smoked cigarettes in 1967?

According to the CDC, more than 3,000 young people become regular smokers every day, which is more than 1 million new smokers each year.

However there is a little bit of good news; according to the CDC, cigarette use among High School Students (United States, 1991-2003) showed a decrease in teen smoking from a high of 35% to 22% in 2003.

Unfortunatly that still means that 1 in 5 teens smoke.

Even more disturbing is 17 percent of of 9th graders were reported smoking. That rises to a high of 26% in 12th grade.

So in conclusion, about 20-30% of young people smoke cigarettes.
