Description:Since the first Surgeon General’s report on smoking and health was released in 1964, cigarette smoking among U.S. adults declined from nearly 43% to a low of nearly 14% in 2018, the most recent year for which data about adult use are available.
Tobacco dependence is a chronic, relapsing condition driven by addiction to nicotine. But cessation treatment can help people quit.
The 2020 Surgeon General’s Report highlights the latest evidence on the benefits of smoking cessation. The evidence is clear – one of the most important actions people can take to improve their health is to quit smoking, no matter how old they are or how long they’ve been smoking.
