Smokeless tobacco use by secondary students in a Mexican bordertown.
Of secondary students living in a Mexican bordertown, 67 boys and 45 girls aged 13 to 18 years, 5 boys reported trying chewing tobacco, but none reported current use, and 61 students believed such use could cause cancer. Low prevalence may be related to low exposure to advertising.
