As of recent data, smoking rates in the U.S. vary significantly by age. Generally, younger adults (ages 18-24) have the lowest smoking prevalence, around 8-10%, while rates increase in older age groups, peaking among those aged 45-64 at approximately 15-20%. Older adults (65 and above) tend to have lower rates again, around 7-10%. These trends reflect a gradual decline in smoking, particularly among younger populations, due to increasing awareness and anti-smoking campaigns.
