Here is that "work" argument again. You've got your priorities all mixed up.

tobacco use went down over the last few decades? Where is this data? I thought it stayed the same, pretty much, until these past few years when the eCigs came out. Then tobacco sales started plummeting. That newscaster has me furious just with the intro.
I tried to post, but my account won't work for whatever reason. Probably a good thing.Depends on how they define tobacco use. The number of smokers did not start to go down again until the past few years. I think cigarette sales went down but was offset by increases in sales of roll your own and pipe tobacco used for rolling cigarettes.

Where would one find the data?
They do like to hide the real numbers don't they.Scattered all over the place. The CDC has a bad habit of changing the name of their reports from year to year. So one time it might be under Smoking & Tobacco Use, Fast Facts (2011)
CDC - Fact Sheet - Fast Facts - Smoking & Tobacco Use
and another year under in a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) (2009)
Vital Signs: Current Cigarette Smoking Among Adults Aged ?18 Years --- United States, 2009
I have tried copying the title of one report and just changing the year in the title. For example, Vital Signs: Current Cigarette Smoking Among Adults Aged ≥18 Years --- United States, 2009 and changing the year to 2010. That takes you to a search results page where the closest match is
Surveillance for Certain Health Behaviors Among States and ...
CDC. Vital signs: current cigarette smoking among adults aged ≥18 years—United States, 2005–2010. MMWR 2011;60:1207–12. CDC. ...
The only trouble is that when you click the link you land on a report titled "Surveillance for Certain Health Behaviors Among States and Selected Local Areas — United States, 2010"
It makes searching for the numbers a challenge. The FTC used to be in charge of tracking tobacco sales, but now I think the FDA has that duty. Some of the market analysts publish statistics on tobacco sales every quarter. You can contact Bonnie.Herzog at wellsfargo.com and she will be glad to add you to her list.
who is the 1Brett1 d-bag that keeps asking for references and then dismisses them as people post them? it's like he is willfully ignoring every answer to questions he asks.
