From the Paper:

"Despite these facts, smoking is still one of the most common vice among people nowadays. More and more people are becoming "addicted" to it, this include youngsters and the old ones. In the US alone, statistics shows that 80% of smokers start smoking before they reach the age of 21 (http://unr.edu/homepage/shubinsk/whosmok1.html, 1999). Furthermore, there are also various studies that were conducted proving that one in five high school seniors smoke daily and 70% of the total high school student population has tried cigarettes, while 3000 teenagers start smoking each day (http://unr.edu/homepage/shubinsk/whosmok1.html, 1999)."
