title: Reducing tobacco use among youth.
abstract: Reducing tobacco use among young people is an important challenge as we head into the twenty-first century. Old strategies have gone away as new ones have emerged. Old research and opinion-based approaches are being replaced by data-driven, analyzable programs. One thing that clearly has not changed is the importance of prevention and education. Another is the need for pediatricians and all those who care about children to address the issue of tobacco's toll early and often.
