WVU profiles young smokers

Associated Press

MORGANTOWN West Virginia University research shows teens who volunteer for programs to quit smoking are more addicted than other young smokers.



The research released Thursday shows teens who want to quit aren't sure they can give up tobacco. WVU says teens who try to quit are 60 percent more likely to switch to smokeless tobacco and 200 percent more likely to take up cigars compared with other teen smokers across the country.



The research was published in the journal Tobacco Induced Diseases. It comes from data on approximately 6,000 teens who enrolled in the Not On Tobacco smoking cessation program from 1998 to 2006.



Lead researcher Kimberly Horn says it's the first look at the characteristics of teens involved in the nationally used program.
