The CDC also keeps track of smokers-today, roughly one in five adult Americans smoke. In its surveys, seven out of ten smokers reported that they wanted to quit smoking completely, and nearly half of those who wanted to quit (over 19 million) had stopped smoking for at least one day in the previous twelve months in an attempt to kick the habit. Only about 3 million manage to make it last-that means that about 85 percent of the people who want to quit, and have actually set themselves the goal of quitting, fail. In spite of all the public awareness of the serious risks to one's health, nearly half a million Americans die every year from smoking-related illnesses. So if you're smoker and you fail to quit smoking, you may well die as a result of it. And the 85 percent of people who try to quit and fail each year know it.

CDC追踪了吸烟者的现状，大概每5个成年美国人中就有一个吸烟。在调查中，每十个吸烟者中有七个表示他们想彻底戒烟，有将近一般的人（1900万）在过去的12个月中，至少试图在一天戒烟。只有大约300万人戒烟成功，这意味着大约85%的人都失败了。尽管公众已经意识到吸烟对健康的严重威胁，每年有将近50万人死于与吸烟有关的疾病。如果你是个吸烟者并且戒烟失败，你很有可能因此而死去。并且，每年那85%的试图戒烟且失败的人都知道这一点。
