Teenagers Buy Smokeless Tobacco Products

Fewer teens are smoking cigarettes these days, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Spartanburg, 73 percent of ninth- and 11th-grade youth surveyed thought it was "wrong for youth their age to smoke cigarettes," and 88.3 percent thought it was a "great risk" to smoke one or more packs per day, according to the 2010 youth survey conducted by the Spartanburg Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission.
