Youth smoking still declining.
The number of Canadian youth trying tobacco products has continued to fall, Health Canada's 2004-2005 Youth Smoking Survey has found. Only 21 per cent of youth in grades five through nine had tried any type of tobacco product. This represents a 50 per cent reduction over a 10-year period from the rate in 1994.
The 2004-2005 YSS YSS - Yaw Sun Sensor YSS - Yemeni Student Society YSS - You're So Smart YSS - You're So Sweet YSS - You Suck Severely YSS - Young Spectroscopist Symposium (South Africa) was a project funded by Health Canada, conducted by the University of Waterloo and a consortium of tobacco control researchers.
