Tobacco Use in California
• High school students who smoke: 15.4% [Girls: 13.7% Boys: 17.1%]
• High school males who use smokeless tobacco: 6.7%
• Kids (under 18) who try cigarettes for the first time each year: 122,200
• Additional Kids (under 18) who become new regular, daily smokers each year: 36,600
• Packs of cigarettes bought or smoked by kids in California each year: 78.3 million
• Kids exposed to second hand smoke at home: 1,114,000
• Adults in California who smoke: 14.3% [Men: 18.1% Women: 10.6% Pregnant Females: 6.3%]
Nationwide, youth smoking has declined significantly since the mid-1990s, but that decline appears to have slowed. The 2007 Youth Risk Behavior Survey found that the percentage of high school students reporting that they have smoked cigarettes in the past month decreased to 20 percent in 2007 from 23 percent in 2005. 20.8 percent of U.S. adults (about 45 million) currently smoke, about the same as the 20.9 percent who smoked in 2004 and 2005.
Deaths in California From Smoking
• Adults who die each year in California from their own smoking: 37,800
• Adult nonsmokers who die each year from exposure to secondhand smoke: 2,110 to 5,910
• California kids who have lost at least one parent to a smoking-caused death: 30,500
• Kids alive in state today who will ultimately die from smoking: 596,000 (given current smoking levels)
Smoking, alone, kills more people each year than alcohol, AIDS, car crashes, illegal drugs, murders, and suicides combined. For every person in California who dies from smoking approximately 20 more state residents are suffering from serious smoking-caused disease and disability, or other tobacco-caused health problems.
