| Many people continue to smoke. |
While many states are now restricting smoking in public places (and even in parks, as in New York state), the addictive habit is not likely to disappear anytime soon.
According to a recent article on MSN.com, the top 10 smoking states in the US are (in alphabetical order):
- Arkansas
- Indiana
- Kentucky
- Louisiana
- Mississippi
- Missouri
- Oklahoma
- South Carolina
- Tennessee
- West Virginia
Not surprisingly, the rates for smoking-related illnesses and deaths are very high in these states.
Smoking has been associated with a wide range of respiratory diseases, cancers and other ailments.

| The dangers of smoking |
Smokers not only put themselves at risk, but also the people around them: Secondhand smoke has been shown to be as bad – if not worse – than inhaling the smoke itself.
Some people are even warning about the dangers of third-hand smoke, which describes the harmful chemicals and toxins clinging to walls, furniture and clothing long after the cigarette has been put out.
A recent study talked about on this blog showed that children living with smokers miss more school days than those who do not.
