Do you have kids yourself? If so, did you encourage them to smoke dope or do you intend to do so? In 2000, approximately 2.1 million youth under age 18 used marijuana for the first time, and 2.2 million tried cigarettes for the first time.6 No surprise there. You need to know how to smoke to smoke weed. Tobacco is the first step usually. Among tenth graders, the rate of current marijuana use is nearly the same as cigarettes. In 2002, 17.8 percent of 10th graders reported using marijuana and 17.7 percent reported using cigarettes in the past 30 days.8 I'm glad the percentages were that small. And I expect the two groups overlap about 90%.
