A recent poll claims that nearly half of Americans support a federal law that would make cigarettes illegal in the next five to 10 years. The poll, conducted by Zogby International with the Drug Policy Alliance, says that 57 percent of 18-29 year olds were in favor of the idea.

This as the CDC reports Thursday that the number of Americans who smoke is leveling off and not dropping enough to meet the government’s goal of significantly reducing smoking by 2010.
