According to Legacy, a Washington, D.C,-based public health foundation dedicated to tobacco control, more than 5.6 million young people alive today are projected to die prematurely from the use of tobacco products.
Nearly 3,200 young people try their first cigarette every day, and one-third of youth smokers will eventually die from tobacco use.
