Posted: August 10th, 2006 | Filed under: That's An Outrage!Virtually every teen girl interviewed as part of a new Health Department report on smoking said the show influenced their deadly habit.

About 11% of teenagers smoke, according to the Health Department. The highest rates, about 35%, are among white girls.
Researchers ventured into a private high school and asked more than 30 middle and high school girls between the ages of 13 and 18 about smoking.
