This indicator shows the percentage of public school students in grades 9-12 who report that, in the past 30 days, they have seen or heard commercials on TV, the internet, or the radio about the dangers of cigarette smoking.
Why is this important?
Anti-tobacco events and advertising have been used frequently and have shown influence on tobacco use. They serve to prevent initiation of tobacco use and to encourage cessation among those who already smoke. Among youth, preventing tobacco use and urging cessation are especially important as tobacco use is most often initiated and established during adolescence. More than 80% of adult smokers began using tobacco before the age of 18 years. Education youth on the dangers and consequences of tobacco use can reduce smoking initiation rates, thereby reducing tobacco use in the entire population.
