- Abstract
The article discusses a study of the national- and state-level prevalence of cigarette smoking among U.S. adults aged 18 and over, based on the estimates from the 2005-2010 National Health Interview Surveys and 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey, respectively. The study found that the number of adult smokers has declined slightly during 2005-2010. It indicated that smoking prevalence was lowest among Hispanics and non-Hispanic Asians. It also observed an increase in the ratio of daily smokers who smoked one to nine cigarettes-smoked-per-day.
