I thought the "how to stop smoking" trend line would be similar but that's not the case. Interesting!

At first glance, I thought it was a pattern that includes most "New Year's Resolutions" type of searches. But it looks like my intuition was wrong. By the way, I found some data saying that "stop smoking" is one the least popular resolutions.

>For 2023, the Forbes Health/OnePoll survey found some resolutions to be more common than others, with the most popular goals including:
Improved mental health (45%)
Improved fitness (39%)
Lose weight (37%)
Improved diet (33%)
Improved finances (30%)

Less popular resolutions include stop smoking (14%), learn a new skill (12%) and make time for hobbies (11%). Notably, Gen Z is more likely to prioritize improved mental health as a 2023 resolution than any other generation (50%).

Is that 14% of the people that smoke already or that were questioned ? (Obviously I did not check out the article because: me be lazy and me hoping you remember without looking back through it)
