To curb teen smoking, increase prices: #tellusatoday

We asked our followers on Twitter what do you think is the best way to curb teen smoking. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

Appeal to teens' age group. No one wants to kiss or date someone who smokes.

— @Leachteach

Start enforcing existing laws, just as they do for underage drinking.

— @chrish43

Raise the price to $15 for a pack.

— @vannwill

Card anyone under 30 who is purchasing a tobacco product.

— @beckac1504

Start by banning tobacco because it is responsible for vast amounts of death. Revenue aside, why is it legal?

— @YelimYosif

Make teens eat a cigarette. It worked for me. I never touched one again!

— @Gmill911

If it had been more expensive than two days of lunch money for a pack of cigarettes, I never would have started smoking.
