Men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women， the age group with the highest proportion(比例) of smokers is the age group 24~44.
Income, education and occupation(职业) play a part in determining a person's smoking habits. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoke at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes every day.
The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family incomes and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.
Among teenagers(青少年) the picture is similar. There are fewer teenage smokers from upper-in-society, well-educated families, and from families living in farm areas. High school students who are preparing for college are less likely to smoke than those who do not plan to continue their education after school. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.
