Teen smoking on the decline

Great news, unless you're a tobacco farmer or work for a tobacco company—the rate of teen smoking in the US has dropped to the lowest levels in 25 years. In 1999, an estimated 30% of middle and high schoolers smoked, and this year it's down to 1.7%

The Centers for Disease Control says the drop is attributed to the decline in E-cigarette usage, which had been the most popular tobacco product among teens. This isn't surprising since these companies directly targeted this demographic with candy and cereal-flavored nicotine formulas.

Tobacco companies are insidious entities that do not value human life. I'm encouraged when legislation successfully punishes them and impedes product sales.
