Abstract
Extract: Cigarette sales in the USA peak in the summer months, June through August. This finding prompted examination of data on the onset of youth smoking to determine whether a similar pattern could be discerned. In this letter we report data from the Development and Assessment of Nicotine Dependence in Youth (DANDY) study.
