State-specific variation in the prevalence of cigarette smoking contributes to differences in the mortality patterns of smoking-related diseases, such as lung cancer, coronary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. In 1990, approximately 400,000 deaths were attributable to smoking: the median percentage of deaths attributable to smoking in all states were 19.2% (range: 13.4% in Utah to 24.0% in Nevada). State-specific surveillance of the prevalence of cigarette smoking can be used to direct and evaluate public health interventions to reduce smoking and the burden of smoking-related diseases on society. In June 1996, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) recommended that cigarette smoking be added to the list of conditions designated as reportable by states to CDC. This report responds to the CSTE recommendation and summarizes state-specific prevalences of cigarette smoking by U.S. adults in 1995. During 1995, the prevalence of smoking varied among states and ranged from 13.2% (Utah) to 27.8% (Kentucky).
各州吸烟率的差异导致了吸烟相关疾病（如肺癌、冠心病、慢性支气管炎和肺气肿）死亡模式的不同。1990年，约40万例死亡归因于吸烟：所有州归因于吸烟的死亡中位数百分比为19.2%（范围：犹他州为13.4%，内华达州为24.0%）。各州对吸烟率的监测可用于指导和评估公共卫生干预措施，以减少吸烟及吸烟相关疾病对社会的负担。1996年6月，州和地区流行病学家委员会（CSTE）建议将吸烟列入各州向疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）报告的疾病名单。本报告回应了CSTE的建议，并总结了1995年美国成年人中各州的吸烟率情况。1995年期间，各州吸烟率有所不同，范围从13.2%（犹他州）至27.8%（肯塔基州）。
