true or false
1 answer
False. Cigarette use in the United States has been steadily declining over the past 50 years. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the percentage of adults in the U.S. who smoke cigarettes has decreased from 42% in 1965 to approximately 14% in 2019. This decline is attributed to public health campaigns, tobacco control policies, and changing social norms.
