Since about 1990 we have seen thousands of federal,state, and local smoking bans passed.

Due to increased excise taxes and MSA costs,the price of cigarettes has gone up tremendously. Billions of ‘OUR’ money have been spent trying to force smokers to quit.

The result?
In 1990 about 43.125 million adults smoked cigarettes, in 2007 about 45 million adults smoked cigarettes!!

That is a 4.16% increase in the number of adult cigarette smokers!!

1990 the population was 250 million, 75% were adults = 187.5 million, 23% smoked is 187.5 x 23% = 43.125 million.

2007 population was 300 million, 75% were adults = 225 million, 20% smoked = 45 million cigarette smokers.

These numbers do not show cigar and pipe smokers for a total smoker number.

The same numbers hold true for youth cigarette smoking.
