Low Education and Smoking Habit

CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in April and then called for a national

anti-smoking movement in the United States for the entire region to reduce the number of deaths from smoking lung by more than 400,000 people a year. CDC expects the adoption of policies to control, prevent to stop smoking are enforced uniformly throughout the United States.

The CDC estimates that 46 million adult smokers in the U.S. smoke cigarettes, and deaths due to smoking reached approximately 443,000 people a year. In the state of West Virginia, the number of adult smokers reached 26.5%, in Indiana 26%, Kentucky 25.2%, Missouri 25%, and 24.7% Oklahoma. Towards the end of 2, this decline also proves winning the government's efforts in combating smoking.

CDC also inform the number of adult smokers in the U.008, the percentage of adult smokers in the United States fell below 20%. This decrease is the first time this has happened, or at least since the mid-1960s. On the one handS. continues to decline, namely in 2007 to 19.8% from 20.8% in the previous year.

While this is very good news, Matthew McKenna, MD, MPH, director of the CDC's Division of Tobacco and Health, still regrets that the death rate from smoking is still rising. He reported that nearly one in five American adults who smoke. Even many former smokers who end up helpless and then return to the bad habit again.

Tom Glynn, PhD, Director of the International Cancer Control at the American Cancer Society, commented that the report showed a big improvement. Even that figure is the lowest figure since the late 1920s.

In the report mentioned decrease in smoking prevalence occurred in the age group 18 years and over. This age group record highs in 1965 with the percentage of smokers at 42.4%. That number then dropped below 30% for the first time in 1987 with the percentage of smokers reached 28.8% of the total smokers in the United States. Decrease in number of smokers is expected related to the application of high cigarette taxes and the issuance of rules and regulations adopted smoking rooms in most of the work environment in addition to the health counseling.
