| Abstract | J C he use of smokeless tobacco (ST) has soared in the United States in the past 25 years and usage rates have tripled between 1975 and 1991. The largest percentage of users are between 18 and 25 years of age. The 1993 Youth Risk Behavior Survey reports that 11 3% of high school students had used ST in the previous month. Among college students, the use of ST by athletes is much higher than for non-athletes. There have been few studies to determine usage rates among high school athletes. The most popular type of ST is snuff, which is far more carcinogenic and addictive than other ST products. In view of the increasing use of ST among athletes, it is imperative that athletic trainers, coaches, physicians, and administrators become proactive in addressing the problem. |
