Cigarettes are directly marketed to kids and have been for decades. I still remember the DARE posters from high school THAT WERE MADE BY THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY, and were specifically designed to have the opposite effect.

I also remember that a solid quarter of the student population smoked. So good luck with your abstinence policies, they have such a strong track record.

Speaking of which, does abstinence only education result in less teen pregnancy, or more? I can't quite remember.
