Who still smokes in the United States?
Cigarette smoking among U.S. adults has fallen to the lowest rate in generations, according to data released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's good news, considering that smoking still accounts for about 480,000 deaths annually in the United States, along with an estimated $300 billion in health costs and lost productivity.
But the CDC numbers also offer an interesting glimpse at the 17 percent of adults who continue to light up. People in the Midwest, for instance, smoke more on average than Americans elsewhere in the country. People on Medicaid are more than twice as likely to smoke as those on Medicare. Adults with a GED certificate smoke at eight times the rate of those with graduate degrees. Asians smoke less than other ethnic groups. Men smoke more than women, but not by much.

I do nt understand those who smoke (it is not that smoking gives you some great feeling like drugs).
My logic: smoking harms your health, you smell + you pay money to get that. Conclusion - do not smoke :) I do not believe in great "addiction" or whatever... And even with "addiction" - why do you start in th first place (except kids who still do not have proper functioning brain to be "cool"). |

If I see someone smoking, they're usually driving a piece of shit car.
A pack a day in NYS is a $300 a month habit. Quote:

I have lots of friends who went E-cig and then quit as they feel like a dope. E-cigs are not cool but smoking and harming your health when you have E-cigs is pretty dumb. The whole situation is now broken.
