Cigarette smoking among US adults fell to its lowest recorded level in 2018: 13.7%, according to a report published Thursday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
美国疾病控制与预防中心周四发布的一份报告显示，美国成年人的吸烟率降至13.7%，创2018年的最低记录。
That represents a drop of roughly two-thirds since the CDC started collecting this data in 1965.
自1965年美国疾病控制与预防中心开始收集这些数据以来，这一数字下降了约三分之二。 "This marked decline in cigarette smoking is the achievement of a consistent and coordinated effort by the public health community and our many partners," the agency's director, Dr. Robert R. Redfield, said in a statement Thursday. "Yet, our work is far from over."
该机构主任罗伯特雷德菲尔德博士在周四的一份声明中说，“吸烟人数的显著下降是公共卫生界和我们的许多合作伙伴一致和协调努力的结果。”“然而，我们的工作远未结束。”
The report estimated that 49.1 million US adults, or nearly 1 in 5, used any tobacco product in 2018. Cigarettes were the most common at 13.7%, followed by cigars, cigarillos and little filtered cigars, which were used by 3.9% of adults.
该报告估计，2018年，有4910万美国成年人(近五分之一)使用烟草产品。香烟是最常见的，占13.7%，其次是雪茄、小雪茄和过滤雪茄，成年人使用量占3.9%。 E-cigarettes were the third most common tobacco product used by adults, at 3.2%. Their use rose from 2.8% in 2017, despite having been on the decline for several years prior. This was attributed partly to increases in vaping among young adults 18 to 24, which jumped from 5.2% in 2017 to 7.6% in 2018.
电子烟是成年人使用的第三大烟草产品，占3.2%。尽管此前几年一直在下降，但它们的使用量从2017年的2.8%上升了。这在一定程度上归因于18岁至24岁年轻人使用电子烟的比例上升，从2017年的5.2%升至2018年的7.6%。 Those who were most likely to use tobacco products were between 25 and 44; members of certain minority groups, including lesbian, gay and bisexual adults; those living with a disability or serious psychological distress; people in the Midwest or South; and adults making less than $35,000 per year.
最可能使用烟草产品的年龄在25岁至44岁之间;某些少数群体的成员，包括女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋成年人;有残疾或严重心理困扰者;中西部或南部的人;以及年收入低于3.5万美元的成年人。
The report also found that cigarette smokers have become more likely to try quitting in the previous 12 months, and they have been more successful at doing so.
报告还发现，在过去的12个月中，吸烟者更有可能尝试戒烟，而且他们在戒烟方面取得了更大的成功。
