Did you know that:

  • More than 5 million children alive today will die prematurely from smoking-related illnesses?
  • Nearly every adult who smokes (almost 90 percent) took his or her first puff at or before the age of 18?
  • Or, that increasing tobacco taxes is an effective way to prevent and reduce smoking, especially among kids?

    These research findings and statistics, outlined on fact sheets and in a series of ongoing research reports, can be found here in our Research Center. Whether you’re wondering which brands of cigarettes teens prefer (Marlboro, Camel and Newport, the three most heavily advertised), or how much the tobacco industry spends advertising and marketing its lethal products (more than $13.1 billion per year and more than $35.9 million per day), chances are, we’ve got the answer, and you’ll find it here.
