nickateen

A highly-addictive substance that "catches" an adolescent and possibly makes him a smoker for life.

To "hook" more young people during a period when the number of smokers was on a downtick, tobacco companies increased the nickateen levels in their cancer-sticks to make it harder for "experimental" or "trial" smokers to stop once they'd started.
