You see stories about different things going extinct within the next few decades and it's almost always bad news.  Newspapers.  Landlines.  Social Security.  Well . . . here's a good one.

A new analysis of the tobacco industry found that, based on current trends, SMOKERS could be extinct by 2050.

Right now, only about one in of five Americans smoke . . . that's down from one in four in just a decade.  That's an INSANELY fast decline.

And within 30 to 50 years, all the people still smoking could be either DEAD . . . or they'll have quit, with no new smokers taking their place.
