Youth smoking falls with rising mobile phone ownership

Now that's a wacky statistic, but it's the fifth "key fact" from the MobileYouth survey posted by Graham Brown at mobileyouth.org. 

This is a global study that includes other interesting facts like:

• 1.1 billion youths own a mobile phone
• 10% of youths' disposable income goes to mobile products and services
• Youth spending on mobile will reach $300B by 2010
• Youths spend 8 times more on mobile than on music
• Only 27% of youth said they "trusted" their mobile operator
