Smoking Falls
Wow, you see this?
Cigarette smoking has fallen to its lowest point in recorded history, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
An estimated 14 percent of adults in the U.S., or 34.3 million people, smoked cigarettes in 2017, down from 15.5 percent in 2016, according to the CDC. This historic low represents a 67 percent decline from 1965, when the National Health Interview Survey started tracking the figure and 42.4 percent of adults smoked cigarettes.
Perhaps the most amazing thing is that 42% of adults smoked back in 1965. I knew it was very popular but did not realize it was that popular.
Be sure to read all the underlying/interesting statistics:
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
