Cigarettes 2009 In 1999, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that about 34.8% of high school students smoked cigarettes. They established a national health goal of reducing that figure to 16% by the year 2010. To that end, they would be on track if they achieved a reduction to 17.7% by 2009. In 2009, they released a research study in which 19.5% of a random sample of 5080 high school students said they were current smokers. Is this evidence that progress toward the goal is off track?
