Several stages emerged consistently as teens took up smoking. Only a couple of months after their first drag, teens declared in the questionnaire that they'd stopped forever. Yet nine months later, they were smoking monthly; 19 months in and they were smoking weekly. The study found that daily smoking became the norm around the two-year point, when cravings...
