According to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 15.5 percent (37.8 million) of all adults in the United States are cigarette smokers. This accounts for 17.5 percent of males and 13.5 percent of females in the total U.S. population.

Cigarette smoking also accounts for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the country, which is roughly 1,300 deaths per day. It is expected that 8 million people will die in 2030 if the current smoking rate continues.
