- Definition: Percentage of adults aged 18 and over who currently smoke cigarettes: they have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and now smoke every day or on some days. Crude prevalence, not age-adjusted.
- Note: United States: CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), states and DC only.

The series starts in 2011, when BRFSS changed its methods.
