The 2010-2011 sample includes 7,536 adults and 1,294 smokers from New York and 3,777 adults and 748 smokers nationally. Overall, smoking prevalence is lower in New York (16.1%) than nationally (22.2%) and is strongly associated with income in New York and nationally (P<.001 smoking prevalence ranges from to nationally and the highest lowest income group. in group spent of annual household on cigarettes new york nationally. daily cigarette consumption is not related income.> Conclusions/Significance: Although high cigarette taxes are an effective method for reducing cigarette smoking, they can impose a significant financial burden on low-income smokers. |
