Oklahoma has been at the top of the tobacco use list for several years , but one number stuck out 3 years ago.
In 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention placed Oklahoma at #1 for Teen tobacco usage/consumption at 28.6% among High School students, a significant increase from 2003 at 26.5% ,with a ranking of 6th.
Now the state is back down to 7th in 2007.
What about 2008?
