Great news for teenagers everywhere
Or indeed anyone else dependent on pocket money. A study by a student at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore suggests "High school students who take part-time jobs for pocket money may be more likely to start smoking than teens who don't join the after-school and weekend work force".
So, the way forward for impecunious teenagers is clear - "Dad, if you don't give me more pocket money I'll have to get a job. And then I'll start smoking, and you wouldn't want that, would you?".
(No more smoking-related posts today, I promise)
