According to the 1990-91 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, the smokeless tobacco

product use rates among males in grades 9 through 12 were as high as 34 percent in

Tennessee, 33 percent in Montana, 32 percent in Colorado, and 31 percent in

Alabama and Wyoming. Native American youth are especially vulnerable to

smokeless tobacco product use. The rates for both males and females are extremely

high, ranging from 24 percent to 64 percent: rates in some areas are 10 times higher

than those for non-Native Americans.
