A new report released by the WV Department of Health and Human Resources Statistics Center indicates that more kids are choosing to be tobacco-free, according to a news release from the W.Va. DHHR.
The report analyzed data from the 2007 and 2009 Youth Tobacco Survey and compared data from previous years, detailing the use of tobacco, cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, cigars and pipes for middle school and high school students, officials said.
"West Virginia has seen limited decreases in adult tobacco use rates, but declines have been dramatic among the youth," said director of the health statistics center Dan Christy. "This report also measures never-tobacco use – those students who have never tried or used any form of tobacco. It is a more positive focus for analysis, and never-tobacco use has significantly increased 90 percent among high school students from 2000 to 2009."
