Stacked line graph indicates that from 1880 to the late teens of the 20 century, the most consumed tobacco products (as measured by pounds of tobacco per capita) in the United States were chewing tobacco, cigars, and pipe/roll your own tobacco. From that point through 2010, cigarettes consistently and clearly were the most consumed tobacco product. In the early 1950s, U.S. consumption of cigarettes peaked at more than 10 pounds of tobacco per capita per year. Starting in the 1960s, however, pounds of tobacco products consumed in the United States generally decreased through 2010 for all forms of tobacco, including snuff, chewing, pipe/roll your own, cigars, and cigarettes.
