The latest survey of teens in North Carolina indicates that fewer of them are smoking cigarettes.
The N.C. Health and Wellness Trust Fund announced today that the 2007 N.C. Youth Tobacco Survey of 7,500 middle and high school students found that 19 percent of high school students and 4.5 percent of middle school students smoke. Officials said those rates are historic lows.
The trust fund is chaired by Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue, who hailed the results as "another step closer to reaching our goal of creating the first tobacco-free generation in North Carolina."
