Looking at combined 2004-2005 data, rates of past month cigarette smoking were lower for pregnant women than nonpregnant women among those aged 26 to 44 (10.4 vs. 28.8 percent) and among those aged 18 to 25 (26.4 vs. 35.8 percent) However, among those aged 15 to 17, the rate of cigarette smoking for pregnant women was higher than for nonpregnant women (22.3 vs. 18.5 percent), although the difference was not significant. Similar patterns were observed in the combined 2002-2003 data.

Among adults aged 18 to 25, an estimated 57.9 percent of girls and 65.9 percent of boys reported current drinking in 2006. The 2006 rate among girls aged 18 to 25 is higher than the 2005 rate of 55.4 percent.
