data on tobacco use have emerged. The report underwent its initial review processes at a
time when the Surgeon General's post was vacant, which also contributed to the delay.
GENERAL QUESTIONS
Q:
What were the major sources of information for the report?
A:
The report relies primarily on published studies from the scientific literature and data
from population-based, government-sponsored surveys.
Q:
How accurate and complete are the data?
A:
The survey data come primarily from the National Health Interview Survey, the
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, and the
Monitoring the Future Surveys. However, numerous surveys that were conducted
specifically to study tobacco use among members of various racial/ethnic minority groups
are also discussed in the report. Many of these surveys were conducted in the
respondents' native languages (e.g., Spanish, Vietnamese), as needed.
Q:
How did rescarchers measure tobacco use?
A:
Survey researchers measure tobacco use among adults by asking whether the person has
ever used a specified amount of each product (e.g., smoked at least 100 cigarettes or used
snuff at least 20 times) and then determining if that person currently uses a product (e.g.,
if they smoke every day or some days).
Q:
Who wrote the report?
A:
The report was written by more than 25 scientists who were selected because of their
expertise and familiarity with topics covered in this report.
Q:
What is the prevalence of smoking among racial/ethnic groups?
A:
For U.S. adults in 1994 and 1995, 26.5% of African Americans, 39.2% of American
Indians and Alaska Natives, 15.3% of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, 18.9% of
Hispanics, and 25.9% of whites were current smokers.
