Tobacco use is a global epidemic among young people. As with adults, it poses a serious health threat to youth and young adults in our country and has significant implications for this nation’s public and economic health in the future. The impact of cigarette smoking and other tobacco use on chronic disease, which accounts for 75% of American spending on health care, is well-documented and undeniable. Although progress has been made since the first, nearly one in four high school seniors is a current smoker. Most young smokers become adult smokers. One-half of adult smokers die prematurely from tobacco-related diseases. Despite thousands of programs to reduce youth smoking and hundreds of thousands of media stories on the dangers of tobacco use, generation after generation continues to use these deadly products, and family after family continues to suffer the devastating consequences. The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 700 million, or almost half, of the world's children are exposed to second-hand smoke. In spite of what science tells us, however, in many places it is considered so acceptable to smoke, and so rude and unaccommodating to protest, that we dare not speak out against second-hand smoke.
The time has come for us to speak out. We have a right to breathe clean air. We have a right to good health and to protect our friends and family. We need to clear the air of second-hand smoke.
Today, we are calling for a ban on smoking in public places.
Such a ban offers a comprehensive solution to keeping the air clean and safe for all people, both smokers and non-smokers. It puts the emphasis on people's right to health and helps to make smoking the exception rather than the norm.
Some school-based programs should be started with evidence of effectiveness, containing specific components, can produce at least short-term effects and reduce the prevalence of tobacco use among school-aged youth.
