As the extent of the negative health effects of cigarette smoking dawned on the American population over the past few decades, American smokers have been consuming cigarettes at a significantly lower rate. In the late 1970s, 65% of American smokers consumed at least a pack a day; the number smoking at this rate fell to 27% in 2014.
