Most people are aware of the risks of tobacco use. Young people
are often aware of these risks but these do not always seem
'real' enough to put them off smoking. Many young people assume
they will be able to stop smoking whenever they choose, but
smoking is highly addictive. By the time the young person
understands the risks many will find it very difficult to stop
smoking. 4% of 13 year olds and 15% of 15 year olds are regular
smokers (taken from 2008 SALSUS survey) Information on our
prevention programmes in primary and secondary schools can be
