Ranked: Jobs With the Most (and Fewest) Smokers

Miners, food service workers and construction workers are more likely to smoke than adults in other industries, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported on Thursday.


In an analysis of 2004-10 data from a national health survey, the CDC found that 30% of workers in mining and an equal proportion of workers in hotel and food services reported smoking. An estimated 29.7% of adults working in construction smoked.


The overall adult smoking rate in the U.S. is 19.3%.
