United States citizens seem to be turning their backs on cigarettes, according to a study that reported that in 2017 the number of people who consumed the product was the lowest in the last 50 years.
As Time magazine shared on its online site, research by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) revealed that approximately 14% of the country's population consumes cigarettes, a number that has reached an alarming peak in recent decades. 40%.
Although the figure indicates that around 30 million Americans are still consumers of the product, the decrease has been notable through the years, since in 2016 alone the estimates consolidated at 16% and in 2006 they reached 20 %.
The study, which surveyed people from all over the country, also added that the ages at which the use is most common is in adults between 45 and 64 years old. On the other hand, there was a notable decrease in adolescents, which would show that the new generations have lower rates of cigarette consumption.
Despite the positive signs that the national study showed, it was also emphasized in the fact that the so-called electronic cigarettes now have popularity among the young population. As indicated by research, this type of product is the most common form of tobacco use among high school students. It is estimated that 12% of adolescents used cigarettes of this type in 2017.
