    According to the University of Michigan's annual survey of the Nation's adolescents, in 2006, about one- fifth of U.S. seniors smoked monthly, down from more than one-third who did so in 1996. Signs in the most recent surveys indicate that smoking among younger teenagers might be on the rise. The cost of cigarettes, usually a strong predictor of a decline in teen smoking, continues to rise. Yet more than 40% of high school students today have tried smoking before they graduated. The only thing left to do is to raise the legal purchasing age to 21.
