• Description:
  More than 38 million Americans have quit smoking cigarettes, and nearIy half of all living adults who ever smoked have quit. Unfortunately, some 5O million Americans continue to smoke cigarettes. despite the many health education programs and anti- smoking campaigns that have been conducted during the past quarter century, despite the declining social acceptability of smoking, and despite the consequences of smoking to their health.
  
  Twenty previous reports of the Surgeon General have reviewed the health effects of smoking. Scientific data are now available on the consequences of smoking cessation for most smoking-related diseases. Previous reports have considered some of these data, but this Report is the first to provide a comprehensive and unified review of this topic.
