The U.S Smoking Rate Just Hit a Historic Low



       There has been  huge new outbreak for public health, smoking has reach an all time low. In 2015, the United States has decreased 2 percentage points in smoking cigarettes than in 2014.There has been a long term plan since smoking was proved to be a health hazard. The campaign for reducing smoking has included, raising taxes on cigarettes, so people cant afford them; publicising the health hazards and the dangers with smoking; reaching out to young people about smoking and restricting people to smoke in public places. The struggle is tough and controversial because yes cigarettes can be reduced, but now people are using electronic cigarettes instead. I think that electronic cigarettes will be just as dangerous as cigarettes, people aren't educated on electronic cigarettes even though they are nearly the same as cigarettes.

Cigarettes are decreasing, but now ecigs are a now dangerous fad.
