A Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) study found that the perception by teenagers and young adults that heavy cigarette smoking is a high-risk activity has declined in many states. Perceived risks of smoking one or more packs of cigarettes a day dropped between 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 in 14 states among youths aged 12 to 17 and in 31 states among those aged 18 to 25.
