2022-23 TUS-CPS Data, Table 1: Smoking Status

Table 1: Smoking Status - Percentage Estimates (95% Confidence Intervals) of the US Household Population, 18 Years and Older*

* Based on the 2022-23 TUS-CPS questions: a) Have you smoked at least 100 cigarettes in your entire life? and b) Do you now smoke cigarettes every day, some days, or not at all? Current smoking is therefore represented as the sum of Everyday and Some-day smoking. Former smokers are defined as those who smoked 100 or more cigarettes, but who no longer smoked at the time of the interview, and Never smokers were defined as those who had smoked less than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime.small>

† Current = Every Day + Some Days

‡ In the 2022-23 CPS, multiple races were allowed. Here "White" equals non-Hispanic, only White race reported; "Black" equals non-Hispanic, only Black race reported; "American Indian/Alaska Native" equals non-Hispanic, only American Indian/Alaska Native race reported; "Asian/Pacific Islander" equals non-Hispanic, only Asian/Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islander race reported; "2 or more races reported" equals non-Hispanic, 2 or more races reported. Note more than half of this last category is composed of non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Natives also reporting one or more other races. Also, non-Hispanic Asian/Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islanders reporting some other race(s) make up the next largest subcategory within this grouping (mainly the Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islanders).

§ For analysis involving educational level, only respondents 25 years or older are included, as many respondents between 18 and 24 years have not yet completed formal education/training.
