“ADOLESCENCE is a critical period of vulnerability for the onset of smoking … Approximately 80% of smokers initiate tobacco use before age 18 … As compared to their adult counterparts, juveniles more readily develop symptoms of tobacco dependence …and those who begin smoking in early adolescence are more likely to experience difficulty in quitting than those who start at later ages.”
