Utah’s youth smoking rate has been lower than the national average for many years. In 2005 Utah’s smoking rate for students in grades 9-12 was 7.4% compared to a rate of 23.0% nationwide. Surveys indicate that youth smoking rates in states with comprehensive tobacco prevention and control programs (California, Massachusetts, Florida) have declined while other states’ rates have increased or remained the same.
