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 questions were asked every year in both BRFSS and NHIS and were worded in the same way on the two surveys.
Available estimates are for the time periods 1997-1999, 2000-2003, 2004-2007, and 2008-2010 and on maps and in data tables by county (except counties in Alaska), health service area (HSA) and state. Click on the map to view data values and confidence intervals for individual regions.
From 2011 and forward, we no longer release small area estimates for Ever Smoking, estimates for Former Smoking are released instead.
