That statistic is kind of worthless, 3-15 years old? They should break it up a little like 3-9, 10-15. I would guess US data is pretty close to 25% of kids in that age "range" trying cigarettes.

But you may be onto something, i was in 6th grade (maybe 12?) when i first tried a cig and i am a non smoker.
