Over 46,500,000 (that's 46.5 million) americans smoke.*

Of those, 70% (or 32,550,000) say they want to quit.*

Of those, 34% (or 11,067,000) attempt to quit each year.*

Of those, 2.5% (or 276,675) succeed.*

That's about one-half of one percent of the total number of american smokers.

The half-percent club.

NEED TO RAISE THAT%

That's a scarey statistic...especially the number who try vs the number who succeed!

Eeek!:(
