As far as I know, the lower levels of smoking have not made the US health outcomes any better than places where smoking is at ridiculously high levels, like France.

The health outcomes for illnesses related to smoking are for sure better in the US.

The last I checked there was no significant difference.

It was a long time ago though.

because the usa never stopped smoking.

numbers are higher now. but nobody was counting e-cig before. some were even getting money to buy them as they were spined as a quiting smoke path.

cause we turned into a nation of lardasses lol. like half the country is obese and normal people seem to think that being just kinda fat is normal now

also, opioid epidemic is not helping things. this is really reaching and not sourced but i wonder if less smoking means more people reach for pills?
