Smoking rate hits
record low in '86
researchers re
ATLANTA (AP) — The cigarette
smoking rate in the United States
has reached the lowest level ever re
ported, with less than 27 percent of
adult Americans lighting up in 1986,
federal health researchers said
Thursday.
That’s down nearly 4 percentage
points from a 1985 survey and down
nearly 14 points in the last two de
cades.
The first Adult Use of Tobacco
Survey, taken by the national Cen
ters for Disease Control, questioned
more than 13,000 adult Americans
late last year.
It found that 26.5 percent of them
smoked — 29.5 percent of the men
and 23.8 percent of the women.
Those numbers were down from
a National Health Interview Survey
of 1985, which found that 30.4 per
cent of its survey group smokea —
33.2 percent of the men and 27.9
percent of the women.
Some of the difference may be
due to differences between the two
studies, but "our survey is (also) a
large survey," said Dr. Ron Davis, di
rector of the CDC’s U.S. Office on
Smoking and Health. ‘‘We consider
our data to be very reliable.”

The nation’s smoking rate has
fallen dramatically since 1964, the
year of the U.S. surgeon general's
landmark warning about smoking
and cancer, heart disease and other
health problems.
At that time, 40 percent of the
adult population smoked — 53 per
cent of men and 32 percent of
women.
The CDC noted that while “much
progress has been achieved,” an esti

are still smokers — people who have
in their lifetimes smoked at least 100
cigarettes and who reported that

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. elemen
tary and high school students, espe
cially girls, know less about science
than their counterparts did in 1970
and trail both English and Japanese
pupils in physics, chemistry and bi
ology, according to an international
study.
English students topped even the
Japanese in the first study in 17
years to compare how students in 24
nationsperform in science.
The first phase of the study by the
International Association for the
Evaluation of Educational Achieve
ment (IEA) took place in 1983. A
second phase of testing was con
ducted in the United States in 1986
and involved more than 20,000 fifth,
ninth and 12th graders.
One example of the decline in sci
ence knowledge: more than eight
out of 10 U.S. fifth graders and nine
out of 10 ninth graders in 1970 cor
rectly answered a multiple choice
question on how long it takes to
travel to the moon. But in 1986, only
47 percent of the fifth graders and
55 percent of the ninth graders
chose the correct answer: “a few
days.”
Preliminary test results, made
available to the Associated Press,
contained findings for only the
United States, England, Japan and
partial data comparing male and fe
male students in Sweden and Israel.
A 55-page summary is to be pre
sented at a meeting of the IEA at Co
lumbia Teachers College, where the
research organization is based.
Results from the remaining coun
tries won’t be released until later this
year because they have not been
made public by those countries, said
Columbia University natural sci
ences professor Willard J. Jacobson,
who coordinated the IEA study.
The findings were based on tests,
part multiple choice and part lab
work, designed to be hard enough so
that the average student at each
grade level would only get approxi
mately 50 percent correct.

Stronger dollar helps pull
market up for second day!
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose
for the second straight day Thurs
day after a week of declines, and tra
ders attributed the reversal to a
strengthened dollar, improved bond
market and speculation that the
trade deficit may have narrowed.
But they also said the relatively
light trading volume suggested that
many investors were reluctant to
participate without knowing the July
trade deficit figure, which the Com
merce Department was due to re
port today.
