Tobacco use and smoking are very dangerous addictions which commonly cause a wide variety of diseases, cancer and death.  The vast majority of tobacco users and smokers are hooked when they are children.  During this time period they are easily influenced by peer pressure and advertising.  Once hooked, the majority of tobacco users become hopelessly addicted.  More than 5 million children living today will die prematurely because of a decision they will make as adolescents---the decision to use tobacco and smoke cigarettes.
