Many Changes in Cigarette Consumption Since the 1960s, But Still a Way to Go

  • By Stephen's Blog
  • In Tobacco Free

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the first surgeon general’s announcement linking smoking to lung cancer in men. Smoking was common in the 1960’s, and even lauded for its health benefits. After this report, and years of subsequent research, the public opinion of smoking has changed, but there is still work to be done.

The current surgeon general, Dr. Boris D. Lushniak, just released the 32nd edition report and hailed the progress made in the United States. However, he still stated that “smoking remains the leading preventable cause of premature disease and death in the United States.” Almost one-half million adults die prematurely due to smoking.

Smoking has now been linked to macular degeneration, diabetes, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, tuberculosis, erectile dysfunction, cleft palate, ectopic pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation and impaired immune function. Secondhand smoke exposure has also been linked to stroke.
