The social acceptance of tobacco use obscures the fact that it is the single greatest preventable cause of death in the U.S., and approximately 80 per cent of those who use tobacco products began using them before the age of 18. Indeed, tobacco companies in the past routinely targeted youth in their marketing and advertising, hoping to hook kids young and keep them with their original brand. Snell explores the tobacco industry's campaign to attract youth smokers and provides an overview of the Food and Drug Administration's investigation of the tobacco industry, which revealed the industry's deceptions and their specific intent to target youth. As a result, many groups and programmes have sprung up to educate youths about the deadly nature of tobacco addiction and the industry's marketing strategies. Many U.S. states have developed comprehensive programmes that have resulted in a substantial decline in youth tobacco use. While national efforts at tobacco regulation have largely failed, local tobacco control efforts have mostly been successful. Snell argues that the future of youth tobacco policy depends on the continued funding of tobacco prevention programmes, and shows how the tobacco industry is shifting its marketing approach to minority populations and developing nations. Parents, teens, teachers, and community and policy leaders will find here an engaging, thoughtful, and informative discussion of this important problem.
