American Smoking Stats

The 'Legacy for Health' Infographic shows the conventional health, environmental and economic costs of smoking, but with an emphasis on the lost dollars that come with the hard-to-shake habit.

Tailoring their message to appeal to the American people, the infographic hits them where it hurts -- their wallets. Citing the cost to society for the purchase of one package of cigarettes to be double that of the actual pack cost, the infographic steps on many sensitive toes. By reappraising the number of lives lost to smoking-related diseases as the millions of dollars in productivity lost, it appeals to the financially-frugal.

Recently, the number of smokers out there has been falling, which is why even though there are countless anti-smoking PSAs and messages, but there can never be too many.
