How can I learn more?

To ensure that the views of many groups are
included, the TUS-CPS is conducted among
people whose first language is English as well
as among people who speak other languages.

Since 1 992, the Tobacco Use Supplement to
the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) has
collected data from about 240,000 people
a year. This large number means that the
findings really reflect what is happening in
the United States.

The kind and number of cigarettes, cigars,
pipes, and smokeless tobacco people use.

•

The questionnaire asks about:

Tell me about the TUS-CPS

Understand public attitudes about
smoking and how they are changing.
Create new and better policies and
services.
Analyze the economic aspects of
tobacco use.

If you’ve been doing the survey
since 1992, why do you need

The information collected by the TUS-CPS
will help policy makers and health officials
determine what aspects or population groups
they should focus their efforts on to help
those who want to reduce tobacco use and,
thus, improve the health of Americans.

Tobacco use has declined over the years, but
many people still smoke or use smokeless
tobacco.

You bet it does!

Here’s another way to look at things we learned from the
2006-2007 TUS-CPS. This graph shows the percentage of
cigarette smokers age 25 and older who have recently
tried to quit, by regions of the United States.

Smoking was least common among women,
people living in the West, those 65 years old and
older and Asian/Pacific Islanders.

Approximately 18 percent of Americans aged 18
and older smoke. That’s down from nearly 24
percent in 1992.
