According to the study, how many smokers said they preferred menthol cigarettes?

It is estimated that over 400,000 Americans every year die of smoking related diseases. But kicking the habit is not so easy. A new study finds that smokers who smoke menthol cigarettes could have more trouble trying to quit compared to people who use non-menthol cigarettes. When a study began in 1985, 1,500 smokers had a medical exam and answered the questions about their smoking habits. 63% of the smokers said they preferred menthol cigarettes, and these smokers who preferred menthols were less likely to have quit smoking after 15 years. 69% of the menthol smokers were still smoking when researchers asked again about smoking habits in the year 2000. Among people who had originally preferred non-menthol cigarettes, 54% were still smoking in 2000. The researchers say that both menthol and non-menthol cigarettes are equally dangerous, but menthol cigarettes may actually be harder to quit.

Millions of people around the world use Microsoft office, which comes with Microsoft Word for creating documents, Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, Outlook e-mail and other applications. But now Google is offering some of those same applications with its free, web-based services. Google launched it four years ago. But recently it launched a free spreadsheet program and word processing program that are acquired from another company. Together, they are now called Google Docs & Spreadsheets. Well, neither the word processing or spreadsheet pro- gram is as full-featured as Microsoft’s offering, they do provide users with the basic tools they need to write and calculate. Perhaps more important, they also allow you to work from home, office or the road without having you save your files, because they are saved and backed up on Google secure servers. They are also easy to share, facilitating collaboration between people in different parts of the world.Of course, if you are not online, you don’t have access. So forget about writing that letter or polishing off that spreadsheet at 37,000 feet.
