The share of Americans who report smoking cigarettes is back at a record low this year, according to new polling from Gallup.
The Gallup survey found 11 percent of U.S. adults said they have smoked cigarettes in the past week, which matches the historic low smoking rate measured in 2022. This is also just less than the 12 percent of U.S. adults who reported smoking cigarettes in 2023, Gallup noted.
When Gallup first polled U.S. adults about their cigarette smoking habits in 1944, 41 percent of adults said they had smoked. The polling firm noted the 2024 smoking rate is about half of what it was in 2014 and one-third of what it was in the late 1980s.
