Happy Health News.

The Globe and Mail | Smoking among teens plummets
According to the 2003 Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey, Canada is home to 5.3 million smokers over the age of 15. At 30 per cent, the rate for young adults aged 20 to 24 is the highest for any group.

"Nineteen may be the new high-water mark," Mr. Thompson said. "Nobody starts to smoke past the age of 25, but addiction can begin [at any time]."

This is happy news. However it still does not move me to lift my Kraft Foods products ban!
