Credit: Brad Gregg Even so, 17 percent of our residents admit they still smoke every day. It’s amazing so many people puff on the killers, considering they claim more victims than any other single cause, including suicide and alcohol or narcotics use, studies show. The good news? (Cough. Ahem.) There were 75,000 fewer smokers in […]
