MMWR — Effect of Ending an Antitobacco Youth Campaign on Adolescent Susceptibility to Cigarette Smoking — Minnesota, 2002–2003

The April 16, 2004, issue of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) contains a report entitled, “Effect of Ending an Antitobacco Youth Campaign on Adolescent Susceptibility to Cigarette Smoking — Minnesota, 2002–2003."

The findings in this report demonstrate the impact of eliminating a Minnesota youth anti-tobacco campaign — only 6 months after that campaign ended — and suggest that state cutbacks in anti-tobacco campaigns might increase the susceptibility of young people to smoke, which is an important predictor of adolescent tobacco use.
