| 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. |
