Smoking is bad!!!
About 1 of 3 Americans use weed! In a lifetime, Americans in general have been smoking weed a lot more since 1994 through 1999. In particular, young people smoke a lot. Though the percentage of 10th graders who have smoked marijuana in their life has fallen from 40.3% in 2000 to 34.1% in 2005, this level is still too high. We need to do something about these high numbers.

You are right, there are alot of kids smoking. But why is it so bad, for instance what are the health effects, oth short term and long term? Why are the rising numbers of users cause for concern?
How do you think we can make kids not want to smoke?
Do you think things like "the truth" campaign are helpful?
