MMWR — Secondhand Smoke Exposure Among Middle and High School Students — Texas, 2001
February 28, 2003 / Vol. 52 / No. 7
The February 28, 2003, issue of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention's (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) contains a
report entitled, "Secondhand Smoke Exposure Among Middle and High School
Students — Texas, 2001.”
The report indicates that despite its known health hazards, secondhand smoke
(SHS) exposure among Texas youth is common. Based on results from the Texas Youth
Tobacco Survey (TYTS), the study found that half of Texas middle school and
two-thirds of high school students reported SHS exposure within seven days
before the survey. The findings of the report emphasize the need for increased
efforts to implement strategies to reduce SHS exposure among youth and prevent
the negative health effects of SHS exposure.
