Data Note(s)

Prevalence is excluded (blank cells or missing years of data) from the tables for any subpopulation with a sample size less than 30, which would yield statistically unreliable estimates. Prevalence is also excluded for years when the survey question was not asked or for counties and subpopulations where data was not weighted due to low participation rate. Trend lines may be suppressed for certain subpopulations if data is excluded.
Confidence intervals – Because the FYTS is a survey and all estimates of prevalence are subject to random sample errors, we include 95% confidence intervals with each prevalence (%) in the tables. The confidence interval ranges appear below the prevalence estimates in parentheses.
Chart will display if there are at least three years of data.
Quartiles are calculated when data is available for at least 51 counties.
The wording of survey questions asking about electronic vaping has changed over time. From 2011 to 2014, the survey asked students about use of electronic cigarettes. In 2015 and later years, the survey asked about use of electronic vapor products.
For the indicator Percent of Students Who Saw Tobacco Advertisements the Last Time They Visited a Retail Store, the definition of retail store is a convenience store, gas station, pharmacy, grocery store, or big box store. A student who saw tobacco advertisements the last time they were in any of these store types will be classified as Yes for this indicator.
There was a change in survey question wording for the indicator Percent of Students Who Have Participated in Community or School Events in the Past Year to Discourage People Their Age From Using Tobacco. Prior to 2014, the question asked students about participation in events to discourage other from using cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff, dip, or cigars. In 2014 and more recent years, the question also asks about hookah and electronic vapor products.
For the indicators on secondhand smoke exposure, the survey wording has changed between years. For data from 2010-2015, see the indicator Percent of students who were exposed to secondhand cigarette smoke in a room or car during the past 7 days. For data from 2016-2019, see the indicator Percent of students who, in the past 30 days, were in the same room or rode in a car with someone who was smoking cigarettes or using an electronic vapor product. For data from 2020 onward, see the indicator Percent of students who, in the past 30 days, were around someone who was smoking cigarettes or using an electronic vapor product.
