With a 62-cent rise in the federal cigarette tax taking effect this month, don’t be surprised if many smokers renew their efforts to kick the habit — or, at least, to reduce the amount they smoke. There’s a simple reason for this, as a Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index report points out: Smoking correlates strongly with low household income.
Among people with household income in the $12,000-35,999 range, 38 percent are smokers. The figure falls to 22 percent among those in the $36,000-59,999 bracket, to 13 percent among the $60,000-89,999s and to 12 percent among the $90,000-plusers.
