Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWRs)
Cigarette Use Among High School Students—United States, 1991–2007
June 27, 2008 / Vol. 57 / No. 25
MMWR Introduction
Analyses of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Youth Risk Behavior
Surveys (YRBS) found that prevalence of current cigarette use among high school students remained
unchanged from 2003 to 2007 following an increase from 27.5% in 1991 to 36.4% in 1997,
and subsequently, a decline to 21.9% in 2003. The national health objective for 2010, calling
for reducing current cigarette use among high school students to 16% or less, can only be achieved
if the declines observed during 1997–2003 resume.
