The April 8, 2010 release of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health Report examined smoking cessation among individuals who smoked on a daily basis at some time in their lives and who smoked any cigarettes during the period 13 to 24 months prior to the interview. Among people who smoked cigarettes 13 to 24 months prior to the survey interview, 4.1 percent (2.2 million persons) had successfully stopped smoking by the next year. The past year smoking cessation rate was higher among females than males, higher among adults aged 26 to 34 than among persons in other age groups, and increased with increasing levels of education and income. Furthermore, past year smoking cessation rates varied by State, ranging from a high of 6.8 percent in Vermont to a low of 1.8 percent in South Carolina. Read more.
