Here is a news article: About 18.2% of the U.S. adult population smokes, down from over 40% half a century ago. 
  
 Despite the dramatic decline, smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Each year, tobacco consumption kills nearly half a million Americans, and another 16 million are currently living with a disease caused by smoking. 
  
 Though no major U.S. metro area tops the nationwide smoking rate of 50 years ago, there are several cities where more than one in five adult residents report a smoking habit. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed Gallup poll data to identify the U.S. metro areas with the highest smoking rates. In a handful of cities, the smoking rate tops 25%.

Här är en nyhetsartikel: Omkring 18,2 % av USA:s vuxna befolkning röker, en minskning från över 40 % för ett halvt sekel sedan. Trots den dramatiska nedgången är rökning den främsta orsaken till dödsfall som kan förebyggas i USA. Varje år dödar tobakskonsumtionen nästan en halv miljon amerikaner, och ytterligare 16 miljoner lever för närvarande med en sjukdom som orsakas av rökning. Även om inget större amerikanskt tunnelbaneområde är det högsta i hela landet för 50 år sedan, finns det flera städer där mer än en av fem vuxna invånare uppger att de röker. 24/7 Wall St. granskade Gallup opinionsundersökningar för att identifiera de amerikanska tunnelbaneområden med de högsta rökningsfrekvensen. I en handfull städer är rökningsfrekvensen högst 25 %. Klicka här för att se de städer där flest människor röker. Klicka här för att se de detaljerade resultaten och metoderna. Källa: Thinkstock 30.
