 * < 3 ||< As much as 599 additives are used to produce a single tobacco cigarette, and about 4,000 chemicals can be found in the smoke emitted from the burnt tobacco concoction. Of these 4,000 chemical compounds, 69 of them are officially recognized to cause cancer. In addition, these chemicals can include such toxins as ammonia, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and various ingredients can be found in cigarettes. Even tar, the same black mixture that is used to pave roads, is found in cigarettes. Under normal circumstances, no one of sound mind would ingest these chemicals, let alone inhale them, but the mental and physical addiction to these tobacco cigarettes is tremendous and quitting doesn't seem like an option at all. ||< Corkern, Aydan.

 * < 4 || Even a steady level of teen smoking "has dramatic implications for the eventual morbidity and mortality rates," notes the University of Michigan's Lloyd Johnston, who directs the annual survey.

 * < 5 || The Joe Camel campaign has had a dramatic impact on Camel's popularity among U.S. children and teens. Prior to the campaign, Camel cigarettes were smoked by less than 1 percent of smokers under age 18. By 1990, that figure had risen to 33 percent, according to one of a set of studies on tobacco and youth published in the December 11, 1991 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Among youth, Camel is now surpassed only by Marlboro, and it is particularly popular among 12-to-17-year-olds. An industry source interviewed by Adweek's Marketing Week noted, "Camel used to be the brand that was so harsh it was for cuckoos. But now, when you see teenage boys-- people the cigarette companies aren't supposed to be targeting in the first place--going crazy for this guy, you know they're hitting their target." || Lewis, Karen.

Moreover, more than half of all children are exposed to toxic, secondhand smoke and 98% of those who live with a smoker have measurable levels of toxic chemicals in their bloodstream, setting them up for future harm from cancer, heart disease and other ailments."

 * < 9 || "There's a lot less smoking in the movies these days, a new report shows. Tobacco use on the silver screen peaked in 2005 and has been on the decline since, according to research that looked at the most popular films from 1991 to 2009. Last year [2009] more than half of the 145 top movies released didn't show any smoking at all. That's a record for the past two decades. For films aimed at children or teens, the percentage was even higher—61 percent. However, 54 percent of the movies rated PG-13 did show tobacco use." (Washington Times) This article presents the findings of a new study showing a downward trend in the amount of smoking portrayed in movies. || [|Study: Smoking Scenes on the Decline in Top Movies] Sirs

At the plate, the back pocket of the Panda, Pablo Sandoval, bulges with a round tin of chewing tobacco. As the Giants battle the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Championship Series, it's hard to miss the signs of a chewing tobacco habit that Major League Baseball can't seem to quit--even a decade after the minor leagues kicked chaw out of their dugouts." (Sacramento Bee) This article discusses the increasing use of chewing tobacco among teenage boys and explains why "anti-tobacco forces want Major League Baseball to...ban the substance from its fields." || [|Teen Chewing Tobacco Use Putting Baseball in a Pinch] Sirs
