00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:02,533
Although cigarette
smoking has declined,

2
00:00:02,533 --> 00:00:04,433
it remains the leading
preventable cause

3
00:00:04,433 --> 00:00:06,033
of death in this country.

4
00:00:06,033 --> 00:00:09,567
In this month's Vital Signs,
we report that 1 in 3 people

5
00:00:09,567 --> 00:00:12,033
with mental illness
in this country smoke.

6
00:00:12,033 --> 00:00:13,633
And yet people with
mental illness,

7
00:00:13,633 --> 00:00:17,300
like others in this country,
want to quit and can quit.
