Roughly 48 million adults in the U.S. smoke cigarettes, and more than 430,000
of them die of smoking-related causes each year. Since the first Surgeon General's report on smoking in 1964, tobacco use has resulted in the death of more than 10 million Americans.*
There are more than 450,000 adult smokers in Connecticut, and annually approximately 4,900 will die from smoking-attributable diseases. Most adults regret ever having started, and approximately 40% report having attempted to quit for a day or more in the past year.
