Smoking, drinking, obesity and exercise by state

Current smokers, binge drinkers, adults who drank any alcohol in the past 30 days, adults with obesity (BMI 30+), and adults with no leisure-time physical activity in the past month. Percent of adults 18 and over (crude prevalence, self-reported) from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System; states only (CDC publishes a median of states rather than a national estimate in this dataset). Tennessee is not published in the 2024 BRFSS state estimates, so it is not shown.
