The Governor’s office released a statement announcing new statistics from a survey measuring adult tobacco use. Data comes from the 2007 Wisconsin Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey, a telephone survey of residents age 18 and older. Here are a few highlights:
- Adult smoking prevalence: 19.6 percent (down from 24 percent in 2000)
- National average: 20 percent
The governor also announced that since January 1, when the cigarette tax went into effect, a record 20,000 people have called The Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line (800-QUIT-NOW).
