Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Use of smokeless tobacco in the past month among persons aged 12 or older was lowest in large metropolitan areas (1.7 percent). In small metropolitan areas, the rate was 3.7 percent; in nonmetropolitan areas, it was 6.8 percent; and in completely rural nonmetropolitan counties, the rate was 7.8 percent.

In 2005, among young adults aged 18 to 25, the rate of binge drinking was 41.9 percent, and the rate of heavy drinking was 15.3 percent. These rates are similar to the rates in 2002, 2003, and 2004.

When inhalants are used in high concentrations they can cause death by means of suffocation by displacing oxygen into the lungs and then into the central nervous system; it is this point that breathing will cease.

A large number of deaths that are related to inhalant abuse are related to repetitive inhalation, which can lead to extremely high concentrations of inhaled fumes which displaces the available oxygen in the lungs.

Among pregnant women aged 15 to 44, an estimated 10.6 percent reported current alcohol use, 4.5 percent reported binge drinking, and 0.8 percent reported heavy drinking. These rates were significantly lower than the rates for nonpregnant women in the same age group (54.0, 24.2, and 5.5 percent, respectively). Binge drinking during the first trimester of pregnancy was reported by 10.3 percent of pregnant women aged 15 to 44. All of these estimates by pregnancy status are based on data averaged over 2007 and 2008. The 2007-2008 estimate for first-trimester binge drinking is higher than in 2005-2006, when it was 4.6 percent.
