Cigarette smoking rate among Americans is near an all time low, Gallup's latest update on cigarette smoking finds.
The update is part of Gallup's annual Consumption Habits survey, conducted during July 3-27.
Twelve percent of U.S. adults who were surveyed said they smoked cigarettes in the past week, similar to the 11 percent measured a year ago but significantly lower than any other year in Gallup's nearly 80-year trend.
