Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Approximately 8.5 of college students smoke cigars on a regular basis. Among college students, the rate of cigarette smoking is rising. At last report, 28.5 of this group smoked cigarettes. Use of smokeless tobacco is declining overall. Students in the health professions do smoke.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Peer-led programs emphasizing the social consequences of smoking have proved most successful. Short-term effects such as an unpleasant odor and stains on the teeth and hands are stressed. If a significant number of peers convince their classmates that smoking is not popular, others will follow. Large-scale printed information campaigns are not effective. A specified curriculum and teaching can increase benefit. Long-term effects do not dissuade adolescents because they do not have a future perspective. Threatening the norms of the social group is one of the least effective means of prevention.
