Phoenix accomplishes its mission by: Implementing programs that bring about long-term change for people and families; Empowering people with knowledge and leadership skills; and Connecting with public, private, and nonprofit organizations to find solutions, build capacity, and channel resources. Phoenix Youth and Family Services was established in 1995 as a private, nonprofit organization. Nearly 9% of high school students used smokeless tobacco (e.g., chewing tobacco, snuff, or dip), on at least 1 day during the 30 days before the survey. Adolescents who use smokeless tobacco are more likely than nonusers to become cigarette smokers.
