This report presents prevalence estimates of smoking by age, sex, education, and region. In addition, estimates of cigarette consumption, and the tar nicotine level of cigarettes smoked, provide an indication of the complex set of factors that ultimately influence exposure to the deleterious health risks of smoking. These estimates are compared with estimates from earlier surveys to provide some indication of the major trends in smoking behaviour in the last two decades.

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.
