On this map I chose to compare the amount of people who smoked 100 cigarettes or more in their lifetime with the amount of people who have actively tried to quit smoking. As the color goes from turquoise to more yellow you can see the intensity of the amount of people who have smoked 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. The areas that are density yellow show an extremely high smoking population. The dots all over the map represent the people who have tried to quit smoking. It is interesting to note that in certain areas that have very low concentrations of heavy smokers, a high percentage of the people have tried to quit smoking all together. However, it is apparent from looking at the map that many people throughout Queens have tried to quit smoking regardless of the density of smokers in a specific area.
