Reasons for Tobacco Use and Symptoms of Nicotine Withdrawal Among Adolescent and Young Adult Tobacco Users

October 21, 1994 / Vol. 43 / No. 41


The October 21, 1994, issue of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) contains the article, "Reasons for Tobacco Use and Symptoms of Nicotine Withdrawal Among Adolescent and Young Adult Tobacco Users-United States, 1993." In the first study of its kind looking at nicotine addiction among U.S. teenagers, the study concludes that, like adults, young people become addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes and smokeless tobacco and experience withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit.
