Surgeon General cites drop in male smoking trend
Surgeon General Luther L. Terry reported that nearly one in four adult men quit smoking since 1962, with women’s smoking also down for the first time. He cited health warnings and a broader council discussion on regulation, education, and industry advertising as pivotal to the shift, though some data shows a recent resurgence. The National Interagency Council on Smoking and Health, including the American Cancer Society, debated policy steps and voluntary actions by tobacco firms.
