State and Sociodemographic Trends in US Cigarette Smoking With Future Projections.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

There are still significant population-level health consequences of cigarette smoking in US states.

Objective

To estimate whether differential sociodemographic trends in smoking prevalence since 1992 will close the prevalence gap between states by 2035.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional study included data from 18 repeated, state-representative US Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Surveys (TUS-CPS) from 1992 to 2022. Data were analyzed between June and October 2024.

Main outcomes and measures
