Americans snuff out cigarettes in record numbers
The CDC reported 25.5 percent of Americans smoked in 1990, the lowest in 37 years, with projections that if the decline continues at 1.1 percentage points per year, the nation may reach a 15 percent smoking rate by 1998. The study surveyed 40,666 people and noted higher rates among American Indians, high school dropouts, and ages 25 to 44, while blacks and whites converge at similar rates. A London study in The Lancet warned that up to 20 percent of the industrialized world may die from smoking-related disease.
