Young Americans Are Five Times More Likely To Smoke Marijuana Than Cigarettes
Young Americans Are Five Times More Likely To Smoke Marijuana Than Cigarettes
New polling data from Gallup indicates that a significantly higher number of
Americans now report using marijuana compared to cigarettes. Moreover, young
adults are over five times more likely to consume cannabis than tobacco.
Overall, 17% of Americans report smoking marijuana, while only 12% reported
smoking any cigarettes in the past week. This disparity is particularly notable
among younger age groups. Among those aged 18-34, 26% reported using cannabis,
compared to just 5% who reported smoking cigarettes. For adults aged 35-54, 18%
reported marijuana use, which is higher than the 16% who smoke cigarettes.
However, among adults aged 55 and older, the prevalence of cigarette smoking in
the past week (13%) slightly exceeds that of marijuana use (11%). The survey
question on marijuana use focused on "smoking" the substance, potentially
overlooking other forms of cannabis consumption like edibles and vapes.
“Americans’ reported marijuana smoking has more than doubled since 2013, when
Gallup first added the question in its annual Consumption Habits survey,” the
polling firm said. Support for marijuana legalization has also reached a record
high, with 70% of Americans expressing approval of the policy change.
Conversely, rates of cigarette smoking have declined to historic lows amid
increased awareness of the health risks associated with tobacco. Additionally,
Gallup's separate survey from last year found that Americans perceive marijuana
to be less harmful than alcohol, cigarettes, vapes, and other tobacco products.
