One Cigarette May Lead to Habitual Smoking According to a journal published in Nicotine & Tobacco Research two-thirds who try cigarettes become daily smokers. Based on data from the U.K., U.S. and Australia, 60.3% percent of people tried smoking. And of those people, 68.9% progressed to smoking on a daily basis. "We've found that the conversion rate from first-time smoker to daily smoker is surprisingly high, which helps confirm the importance of preventing cigarette experimentation in the first place." Lead researcher Prof Peter Hajek
