 According to a new Gallup poll, more people in the United States are now smoking cannabis than cigarettes!
Back in the mid-1950s, before education on the dangers of tobacco, nearly 45% of American’s smoked cigarettes. That number has been trending downward for decades, with only 11% now saying they smoke them. On the other hand, cannabis use has gone up. 50 years ago, only 4% of Americans said they smoked marijuana. Now, 16% of Americans say they partake. Above both of these, though, alcohol is still the number one substance used, as it has been for 80 years since prohibition was repealed. Back then, 63% of Americans drank alchohol. Today, that number is 67%. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org. Comments are closed.
