Smoking Isn't Falling as Fast as Officials Hoped: Report
Date:3/12/2009

ict of Columbia and all three territories, men had significantly higher smoking rates than women, the report found.

Between 1998 and 2007, smoking rates declined in 44 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, but there were no declines in six states.

The 2007 survey included 430,912 respondents.

Cigarette smoking in the United States causes about 443,000 premature deaths and is responsible for $193 billion in direct health-care costs and productivity losses each year, the CDC said. According to the Institute of Medicine, full implementation of comprehensive, evidence-based tobacco-control programs at CDC-recommended funding levels are needed to achieve major reductions in tobacco use in all states and areas.
