One of the national health objectives for 2010 is to reduce the prevalence of cigarette smoking among adults to < or =12% (objective no. 27-1a). To assess progress toward this objective, CDC analyzed self-reported data from the 2004 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) sample adult core questionnaire. This report describes the results of that analysis, which indicated that, in 2004, approximately 20.9% of U.S. adults were current smokers. This prevalence is lower than the 21.6% prevalence among U.S. adults in 2003 and is significantly lower than the 22.5% prevalence among adults in 2002. The prevalence of heavy smoking (> or =25 cigarettes per day) has also declined during the past 11 years, from 19.1% of smokers in 1993 to 12.1% of smokers in 2004. Tobacco-use prevention and control measures appear to be decreasing both the prevalence of cigarette smoking and the proportion of heavy smokers, who are at high risk for tobacco-related morbidity and mortality. However, to further decrease smoking prevalence among adults and to meet the national health objective, effective comprehensive tobacco-control programs that address both initiation and cessation of smoking should be fully implemented in every state and territory.
2010年的一项国家卫生目标是将成年人吸烟率降低至≤12%（目标编号27-1a）。为评估实现这一目标的进展情况，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）分析了2004年国家健康访谈调查（NHIS）样本成年核心问卷中的自我报告数据。本报告描述了该分析结果，结果表明，2004年美国约20.9%的成年人是当前吸烟者。这一患病率低于2003年美国成年人21.6%的患病率，且显著低于2002年成年人22.5%的患病率。在过去11年中，重度吸烟（≥每天25支香烟）率也有所下降，从1993年吸烟者的19.1%降至2004年吸烟者的12.1%。烟草使用预防和控制措施似乎正在降低吸烟率以及重度吸烟者的比例，重度吸烟者面临与烟草相关发病和死亡的高风险。然而，为进一步降低成年人吸烟率并实现国家卫生目标，应在每个州和地区全面实施有效的综合烟草控制项目，该项目既要解决吸烟开始问题，也要解决戒烟问题。
