How high is tobacco consumption in the US?
Statistics show that, currently, more than 24 percent of all Americans, or a bit less than 50 million people, use tobacco products, mainly in the form of smoking cigarettes, with men smoking slightly more than women (26 percent of smokers among the male American population against 22 percent of smokers among the female American population). More educated people, as well as Pacific Islanders, Asians, and Hispanics, tend to smoke less than people with lower levels of education and those belonging to other ethnic groups, including whites.
