Cigarette use has been declining for decades, while marijuana use has been on the rise, according to a new Gallup survey in the U.S.
Cigarette use has been trending downward during the past decades, with only 11% of Americans saying they smoke them in a poll conducted July 5 to 26, compared to 45% in the mid-1950s.
Sixteen percent of Americans say they smoke marijuana, with 48% saying they have tried it at some point in their lives. In 1969, only 4% of Americans said they smoked marijuana.Young adults are using marijuana and hallucinogens at the highest rates on record In 2019, 83% of Americans said they thought cigarettes were"very harmful" to smokers, while 14% said they are"somewhat harmful." Nine out of 10 adults said in 2013 that smoking causes cancer, while 91% of smokers surveyed in 2015 said they wish they never started.
"Smoking cigarettes is clearly on the decline and is most likely to become even more of a rarity in the years ahead," Gallup Senior Scientist Dr. Frank Newport said."This reflects both public awareness of its negative effects and continuing government efforts at all levels to curtail its use."Still, alcohol is the most popular substance, and has remained consistent for a while.
