For the first time in two decades, cigarette sales in the U.S. increased. Smoking rates have steadily declined since 2000, and are about 66% lower than they were 50 years ago, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the Federal Trade Commission’s Cigarette Report, 203.7 billion cigarettes were sold in 2020, up from 202.9 billion in 2019 — an increase of 0.4%.
Research has shown that cigarettes can actually increase stress and tension, though, after the immediate sense of relaxation that comes from smoking, according to the Mental Health Foundation.
