Smoking is no longer the IN thing

While smoking was once the in-thing, cool, and most people smoked, today smoking is rare and very few people smoke. Consider the following trends in adult smoking by sex as recorded in the U.S. between 1955 and 2005, and reported by the Center for Disease Control:

• 1955 Males = 54% smoked, females 24%
• 1965 Males = 52% smoked, females 34%
• 1975 Males = 44% smoked, females 30%
• 1985 Males = 34% smoked, females 28%
• 1995 Males - 23.9% smoked, females 18.0%
