Seven in ten smokers want to quit study says
The CDC reports that about 70 percent of U S adults who smoke want to quit, with success differing by race and education. Among ever-smokers, 51 percent of whites quit, versus 37 percent of blacks, 43 percent of Hispanics, and 45 percent of Asian Americans. Higher taxes, anti-tobacco ads, and better access to cessation aids could lower the rate.
