Young Teens Who Often See Tobacco Ads in Magazines or Newspapers

Measurement Period: 2015
This indicator shows the percentage of public school students in grades 6-8 who report they always, most of the time, or sometimes see ads or promotions for tobacco products when they read magazines or newspapers.

Why is this important?

More deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined. Although tobacco use by adolescents has declined substantially in the last forty years, in 2013, almost one in 10 high school seniors were daily smokers, and almost one in six had smoked at least once in the previous month. A 2012 Surgeon General report notes that marketing and promotion of tobacco products exceed $1 million an hour - over $27 million a day - in the United States alone. Youth are vulnerable to social and environmental influences to use tobacco; messages and images that make tobacco use appealing to them are everywhere. Exposure to ads or promotions for tobacco products can mask the dangers of tobacco use by normalizing the behavior.
