Abstract
As already outlined in previous chapters, efforts to combat cigarette smoking must be directed primarily at developing useful and effective future strategies to ensure that children around the age of 10 years never start to smoke. In 1997, the Commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration wrote an important article on smoking, “Nicotine addiction: a pediatric disease” [1], in which he described in graphic terms both the tactics of the tobacco industry as well as the adverse consequences of smoking on health. As long ago as the 1970s, two senior executives of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company stated: “Realistically, if our Company is to survive and prosper, over the long term, we must get our share of the youth market” and “Evidence is now available to indicate that the 14–18-year-old group is an increasing segment of the smoking population” [1]. Essentially, if it is to dispel doubts about smoking and frustrate plans for smoking cessation, the tobacco industry has two time windows in which to generate smokers: (1) in children around the age of 10–12 years and (2) in adolescents around the age of 15–18 years. The number one goal of primary prevention is to ensure that children and adolescents never start to smoke.
