The population health concern I’ve chosen is the high prevalence of tobacco smoking among adults in the United States. Factors that contribute to this include a lack of effective public health interventions, easy access to cigarettes and other smoking products, sociocultural factors, economic factors, and promotional marketing tactics by tobacco companies. Environmental factors like high levels of stress or living in poverty can also contribute to tobacco use due to heightened levels of vulnerability. Additionally, certain groups are more at risk for developing nicotine addiction due to socioeconomic disparities and unequal access to preventative care.
