Adult smokers increased from 1990 til 2007

From Gary K:
************************************

In 1990 about 43.125 million adults smoked cigarettes, in 2007 about 45 million adults smoked cigarettes!!

That is a 4.16% increase in the number of adult cigarette smokers!!

1990 the population was 250 million, 75% were adults = 187.5 million, 23% smoked is 187.5 x 23% = 43.125 million.

2007 population was 300 million, 75% were adults = 225 million, 20% smoked = 45 million cigarette smokers.

These numbers do not show cigar and pipe smokers for a total smoker number.

Drug companies must be very happy about the work their TC whores have done!!
