Despite recent declines in cigarette use, according to the most recent Monitoring the Future data, almost a quarter (23.1%) of high school seniors reported daily cigarette use in 1999. Examining use in the past thirty days, 34.6% of the seniors had smoked (35.4% males and 33.5% females). White 12th graders report the highest cigarette use (40.1% in the past 30 days) compared to 27.3% of the Hispanic seniors and 14.9% of the African American seniors. Volume 8(2) of The Prevention Researcher focuses on adolescent tobacco use.
