About this ranking

Percentage of adults aged 18 and over who currently use e-cigarettes or other electronic vaping products every day or on some days. Crude prevalence, not age-adjusted.

CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a telephone survey of adults, crude prevalence. States and DC only: BRFSS publishes the median of the states rather than a national prevalence, so no national value is served. A state that did not meet BRFSS data standards in a year has no value, and CDC withholds estimates from fewer than 50 respondents or with a relative standard error above 0.3. The dataset also publishes 95% confidence intervals. The series starts in 2011, when BRFSS changed its weighting and added cell phones. Asked in 2016 and 2017 and every year from 2021; 2018 to 2020 are not published. BRFSS variable _CURECIG in 2016 and 2017, then _CURECI1, _CURECI2 and _CURECI3 as the question was revised, so the early years are not strictly comparable with the later ones.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the states are compared on one definition. 3 states with data in other periods have no value for 2025 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
