Abstract
Author(s): Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Office on Smoking and Health Title: Cigarette smoking among adults--United States, 1994 Journal: MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep Date: 1996 Jul 12 Abstract: Reducing the prevalence of cigarette smoking among adults to no more than 15% is one of the national health objectives for the year 2000 (objective 3.4). To assess progress toward meeting this objective, CDC analyzed self-reported information about cigarette smoking among U.S. adults contained in the Year 2000 Objectives Supplement of the 1994 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS-2000). This report summarizes the findings of this analysis, which indicate that, in 1994, 25.5% (48.0 million) of adults were current smokers and that the overall prevalence of current smoking and estimates for sociodemographic subgroups were unchanged from 1993 to 1994
