Washington high-school students who participated in the statewide Washington 2012 Healthy Youth Survey say they are twice as likely to smoke marijuana as
cigarettes.
High-school smoking has decreased significantly across the state, with cigarette smoking down in grades six, eight, 10 and 12, but the number of high-school students who believe using marijuana is risky is also at a low point, health officials said Thursday after releasing the 2012 survey results.
“As the perception of harm goes down, use goes up,” said Washington Health Secretary Mary Selecky.
