Smoking in College

I decided to research the subject of smoking and how it relates to cancer. I checked the American Cancer Society website and found a list of facts related to college students and smoking. What I found was quite disturbing but actually did not surprise me. According to the ACS, 28% of college students are smokers and half of those students have tried unsuccesfully to quit. The number of college students that smoke has risen over the years and most students say they began smoking at the age of 19, once they were in college. It seems as though the rate at which college kids smoke intensifies throughout their college years which is not good for their health.
