The steady decline in teen smoking in the United States since the late 1990s appears to have halted, health officials said.
A survey released last week showed that smoking among high-school students held steady at about one in four teenagers between 2003 and 2005. Two other surveys in the past year or so found that teen smoking has apparently plateaued since 2002.
"We were making good progress, and now it looks like we're not," said Dr. Corinne Husten, acting director of the Office on Smoking and Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
