Recent surveys in the UK and US reveal that smoking rates have reached historic lows, with significant declines observed across all age groups. A study published in JAMA projects a national smoking prevalence of below 5% by 2035. States like California, Utah, Hawaii, and Colorado are expected to fall well below this target. In the UK, smoking rates hover around 11.5% nationally, dropping even lower among young adults. The impact of smoking on health remains a crucial variable in medical research due to its association with major health issues. Experts predict a decline in the smoking epidemic in the near future.
