What percentage of americans smoke cigarettes?In: Cancer |
Cancer can be a scary word, but it's more treatable than ever.
I thought i would answer this one since it was hard to find out myself. I actually found the answer on the website www.about.com. The answer is from a recent Gallop poll and it states that approximately 21 % of Americans are regular smokers, down from 23% in 1999. It was very informative. Here are some of the facts it says.
55% of American smokers smoke less than one pack of cigarettes a day , which is also down form the last studies done.
81% of smokers wish they could quit (including me)
25% of smokers report starting before the age of 16
It also stressed the facts of just how dangerous of a habit it is and the health problems it causes and that the first Gallup poll was conducted in 1944 which found that 41% of Americans smoked cigaretees.
So we are getting better statistically and I hope that i can quit and make the number just one person higher.
Hope this helped, Brian
