Smoking Status of Adults - United States, 2000

Starting in 2000, a self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) was added to the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) to collect a battery of health status and satisfaction with health care information. This MEPS Statistical Brief presents preliminary findings based on smoking data obtained from the SAQ. Self-reported data from the SAQ were used in concert with demographic, chronic condition, and preventive care information collected in the core MEPS instrument to describe the prevalence of smoking in the United States. The data are nationally representative of the U.S. non-institutionalized civilian population 18 or older.
