In addition to April Fools’ Day, April 1st is also Take Down Tobacco National Day of Action. And on that front, there is a real reason to celebrate.
A new study shows cigarette smoking among adults in the U.S. has dropped to a historic low of 9.9% in 2024, marking the first time it has fallen into single digits.
And even better, first-time smoking rates are now in the single digits too, moving the country closer to the national goal of 6.1% by 2030.
