it's been 15 years since mike bloomberg was first elected. how would you assess the health of new york city 15 years after bloomberg started? >> well, there were huge strides in health during the bloomberg administration. before my predecessor, tom frieden, came in to the position as health commissioner, smoking rates in the city were 21% for a decade. since that time, the smoking rates fell by 25%. heart disease mortality rates fell 40%, and life expectancy at birth rose 3.2 years. all those numbers were substantially better than what happened in the u.s. as a whole. we still have some big problems, as you saw in that segment, but there's no question that we saw big strides during that time. >> and smoking -- cutting down on smoking rates was a big factor in increasing the life expectancy. >> well, i can't say for sure, but i certainly can say that smoking rates fell fast, and that we would predict that that would have an impact on life expectancy, and that our life expectancy did improve. and smoking was what tom frieden, when he came in, sa
