For years the number of smoking Americans was slowly declining, until 2008 that is. Roughly 20% of the population, or around 46 million people, consistently smoke, whether daily or every few days.
The plateau is attributed to economics, education, marketing, cultural factors and a lack of smoking bans in public places.
WebMD has the full report.
