Other Viewpoints Smoking is a powerful addiction Recently, just in time for the annual Great American Smokeout, a day dedicated to smokers who want to give up the habit, Gallup released a list of state-by-state smoking rates, and how they stacked up against the national average of 21 percent. This is not a list anyone wants to top — yet, there was Kentucky at No. 1 with a 29 percent rate of adults who smoke. That means almost one in three adult Kentuckians smokes. ... Utah was No. 50 with an 11 percent smoking rate. So how does Kentucky bridge that smoke-filled canyon to healthier, more pristine Utah territory? The Gallup-reported rate would suggest that addi- tional taxes on cigarettes sold in Kentucky haven't made much of a dent. If money doesn't talk, what will? Perhaps a reminder of the health hit parade for Kentucky, which, according to americanhealthrank- ings.org, includes: high prevalence of smoking and obesity; high rate of preventable hospitalizations; and high rate of cancer deaths. It's no coincidence that those miserable indicators are tied to smoking. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking affects nearly every organ in the body and accounts for 443,000 deaths throughout the nation every year. The CDC also says smoking is the leading cause of preventable death, responsible for more deaths than Watch out for Internet scammers HIV, illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle If you are among the online receipts in case online shopping adver- injuries, suicides and murders combined. ... growing number of con- Jack there is a problem. tisements, credit card More than 46 million Americans still light up, sumers turning to smart-  Beware of purchas- applications, electronic despite all the incontrovertible evidence of smoking's Conway phones, tablets and com- ing gift cards from auction greeting cards and detriments.
