MORE TEENS SMOKING POT THAN CIGARETTES

ATLANTA (AP) - A federal survey shows more teens are now smoking 
marijuana than cigarettes. The Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention reported that 23 percent of high school students said they 
recently smoked marijuana, while 18 percent said they had puffed 
cigarettes. An earlier survey by the University of Michigan also 
found that pot smoking was higher than tobacco among teens. A 
Michigan expert said that teens now apparently see marijuana as less 
dangerous than cigarettes.
