Abstract: The Minnesota Adult Tobacco Survey was conducted between November 2002 and June 2003. Findings are based on interviews with 8,821 adults, including 1,205 young adults between 18 and 24 years of age. The purpose of this report is to draw the attention of policy makers, the medical and public health communities, and the general public to the high smoking rates and somewhat unique smoking patterns among young adults in Minnesota. The unsettled nature of young adult smoking patterns means that there are points at which the community can intervene to prevent the steady escalation of smoking that often occurs during these years. Effective strategies to combat the tobacco industry’s advertising and promotional resources require solid information.
