Dataset: Respondents to the standard National Health Interview Survey sample adult questionnaire were asked "Have you smoked at least 100 cigarettes in your ENTIRE LIFE?", and, if the answer was yes, "Do you NOW smoke cigarettes every day, some days, or not at all"? Respondents defined as “current smoker” answered “yes” to both questions: they smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and now smoke everyday or some days.
This dataset presents trends in the percent of United States adults who are current, former, and never-smokers, 1998 to 2009, presented as three-year annual averages, by age, race/ethnicity, and gender. The data are from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), a continuous national survey of the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States. Data are collected through in-person computer-assisted household interviews.
