CDC Shows Progress Curbing Tobacco Usage
November 21st, 2008 by Perry
A report released by the Centers for Disease Control showed fewer Americans are smoking cigarettes than ever before.
The number of legal-aged residents smoking dropped below 20 percent of the population for the first time in more than 200 years of crusty lungs and smoky lounges.
The CDC actually points out the significant of its accomplishment thusly; in the past 40 years tens of millions of Americans have voluntarily quit smoking a legal, yet highly addictive intoxicant. They took a measured, informative approach that worked.
Comparatively, the government’s campaign against marijuana is failing. There are an estimated 2.5 million new users every year…
You’d think the incoming administration would notice the trend that truth sways people more affectively than scare tactic propaganda and adjust accordingly. Or, legalize and tax the damn plant so we can get some availability for adults and revenue for our economy.
