Antigay stigma and harassment, rejection from family, friends, peers and sometimes even physical violence can create a hostile environment for many young people coming to terms with their sexual orientation. This combined with the tobacco industry's targeted marketing to lesbian and gay communities is putting lesbian and bisexual girls in harm's way.

So society is causing them to smoke....

Looks like Big Tobacco is responsible to me. Near me we have a billboard with a picture of kids on it, saying "Big Tobacco! Stop targeting us!"

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I pass it.
