No surprise that tobacco smoking is at an all-time low.  The industry long since abandoned the United States and decided to market its poison to third world countries.

I suppose more than a few of the "non-smokers" are dopers complete with the high levels of THC, which has been linked to mental illness include schizophrenia.

Back to tobacco:

That represents a drop of roughly two-thirds since the CDC started collecting this data in 1965.

"This marked decline in cigarette smoking is the achievement of a consistent and coordinated effort by the public health community and our many partners," the agency's director, Dr. Robert R. Redfield, said in a statement Thursday. "Yet, our work is far from over."

The report estimated that 49.1 million US adults, or nearly 1 in 5, used any tobacco product in 2018. Cigarettes were the most common at 13.7%, followed by cigars, cigarillos and little filtered cigars, which were used by 3.9% of adults.

Another reason for the big drop besides health reasons is because tobacco products are so expensive.
