One Quarter of Young Women Smoke---They Want to Quit But Only Three Percent Succeed New data from the American Legacy Foundation surveys shows that, despite recent declines in tobacco use nationwide, a quarter of young women (16-24 years old) are smokers.
Perhaps more alarming, although 83% said they believe they can quit smoking, and 60% tried to quit at least once in 2002, less than 3% succeeded in quitting smoking for at least a year.
The survey is used to measure youth awareness of Legacy's truth® campaign and of other pro- and anti-tobacco messages.
The findings presented here are from the latest First Look Report: Youth Tobacco Cessation: Results from the 2000 National Youth Tobacco Survey.

More than 200 teens from Central Texas marched on the Texas Capitol in Austin carrying double-barred crosses symbolizing the thousands of Texans who die of smoking-related diseases each year.
Among high school students in grades 9-12, 34% currently use some form of tobacco.
If these trends continue, 370,685 Texas youth will die prematurely from smoking.
Although the number of teen smokers decreased by 15% between 1998 to 2000, smoking among underage youth is still a major health problem.
Thanks to dedicated staff members and trained volunteers across the state, the American Lung Association of Texas helped to prevent and reduce youth smoking in Texas through school-based tobacco prevention and cessation programs.

Cheryl was also experiencing shortness of breath as well as coughing up phlegm.
When she finally saw her physician, he gave her the bad news: She had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
It is the term for a group of lung diseases that develop gradually over time and disrupt a person's normal breathing.
The number-one cause of COPD is cigarette smoking.
Smokers have a 25 percent chance of developing COPD, and, once they have it, it is permanent.
However, quitting smoking can reduce your chances of developing the disease.
The model was recently diagnosed with the beginning stages of emphesyma.

Second-hand smoke, or passive smoke, puts children at an increased risk to suffer from lower respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis.
Children are also more likely to have reduced lung function and symptoms of respiratory irritation like cough, excess phlegm and wheezing when exposed to passive smoke.
Infants may face side effects of smoking during pregnancy such as breathing movements during fetal life, cancer, respiratory disorders and heart disease.
· The most important way to keep your child completely healthy is to quit smoking, and do not take your children to areas where smoking is permitted.
A vaccine and other preventive treatments should be discussed with your child's doctor.

For Indicative Conditionals it seems correct to say that the worlds that the modal operator quantifies over must be epistemically accessible worlds, i.e. worlds compatible with the speaker's epistemic state (Stalnaker 1975).
On one hand, we do not want the modal operator to quantify over epistemically accessible worlds because typically the antecedent of a SC is known to be inconsistent with the speaker's epistemic state, cf. (1).
On the other hand, if we do not restrict the modal base to those worlds that are epistemically accessible (i.e. if the modal base is empty (W)), it is a mystery why conditionals whose antecedents have presuppositions are felicitous at all, since W does not have the right entailments, cf. (2).
