Overview

Cigarette smoking continues to be one of the most prevalent causes of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States (1,2).In the United States, an estimated 47 million adults smoke, and over 400,000 deaths/yr are attributable to smoking (3,4).Tobacco use is causally linked to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (5)and is responsible for over $50 billion in annual healthcare expenditures (6). Moreover, Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) or “second hand smoke” has been strongly associated with respiratory illness in children and with both cancer and heart disease in adults living with smokers (7). The prevalence of smoking decreased dramatically in the United States between 1950 and 1980 (8),coinciding with the release of a series of reports from the U.S. Surgeon General regarding the effects of tobacco smoking on health. However, this trend has not continued. Today, one quarter of all adults living in this country smoke (9),and the rate of smoking among high school students increased throughout the 1990s (10).
