It examines the health effects of early smoking and smokeless tobacco use, the reasons that young men and women begin using tobacco, the extent to which they use tobacco, tobacco advertising and promotional activities (history of cigarette advertising to the young); and efforts to prevent tobacco use by young people (public opinion; educational efforts; and public policies).
