Ever Smoking Prevalence (Age 18+): Maps and Data of Model-Based Small Area Estimates

Definition: For ever smoking, a person 18 years of age or older must have reported smoking at least 100 cigarettes in his/her lifetime by the time of interview.

The ever smoking question was asked every year in both BRFSS and NHIS and was worded in the same way on the two surveys.

Available estimates are for the time periods 1997-1999 and 2000-2003 and are shown on maps and in data tables by health service area (HSA) and state. Estimates for all counties except those in Alaska are included in the data tables for corresponding HSAs. To view the most recent estimates on a map with drill-down to states and counties, see State Cancer Profiles.
