Teenage smoking

http://thetimes-tribune.com/opinion/boost-fight-on-teen-smoking-1.1548853

Teenage smoking, in my view, gets more and more usual. Flavored cigarettes and cigars are made, just for teens. They think its ''cool'', so they try mostly because mutual friends does it. You get addicted, and now you are a loser. The percentage has declined, but hey, its easy to say you dont smoke even if you do. In Pennsylvania almost 19% of high school students smoke, that is not a good percentage. One big reason why it is so high in Pennsylvania though, is that it is no tax on cigarettes. So it is a lot cheaper. In Florida the percentage is down at 8.6, way lower than Pennsylvania's. But studies also show, that teens who don't smoke before the age of 18, are most likely to never do it. So put down that cigarette, and just dont. It isnt healthy for you, and doesnt help you with anything. Dont be a smoker, dont be one in those percentages.
