Davis for Education Week quoting results from the 2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which were released on Thursday. Among those 12 to 17 years of age, the rate of smoking declined from 13 per cent during 2002 to 10.4 per cent last year. However, the use of smokeless tobacco rose from 2.0 per cent to 2.4 per cent. (Tobacco Reporter)
