Description

Research has shown how alcohol and nicotine use can increase one's risk for developing certain types of cancer. Research has also shown that consumption of alcohol and nicotine tends to be at its highest among college aged students due to a multitude of factors such as: peer pressure, increased dependence, and the social environment of college. The goal of this research project was to determine how the increased use of alcohol and nicotine among college students may increase cancer risk as well as the students knowledge of this increased risk.
