Cigarette Smoking Decreases among All Adults Except Those Aged 26 to 34 – Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration. March 13, 2013
United States. Policy efforts such as increased cigarette taxes and graphic warning labels have helped reduce smoking. According to the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 54.9 million adults smoked cigarettes in the past month. Smoking rates decreased between 2002 and 2011 for adults in all age groups except those aged 26 to 34. Past month smoking among adults aged 26 to 34 showed no significant change between 2002 and 2011 (32.7 vs. 31.6 percent). Although the number of adults smoking
has declined, this report suggests a need for immediate targeting
of cessation efforts toward smokers currently in their late 20s and early 30s.”
