According to the latest edition of Gallup's annual Consumption Habits poll, marijuana smoking among Americans has reached an all-time high. Seventeen percent of U.S. adults say they smoke marijuana, matching the record set in 2023 and more than double the 7% recorded in 2013, when Gallup first measured the behavior with this question.
The poll, conducted July 1-19, 2026 on a sample of 1,200 adults living in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points, also finds that 15% of adults consume marijuana edibles, up from prior readings. Meanwhile, cigarette smoking fell to a historic low: just 11% of Americans say they smoke tobacco, while vaping is steady at 9% and 4% of adults report using nicotine pouches such as Zyn.
Marijuana use is most common among adults under 50: 23% of those aged 18 to 29 and 25% of those aged 30 to 49 say they smoke it. The share drops sharply among older Americans, to 10% of those aged 50 to 64 and 5% of those aged 65 and older. Marijuana smokers generally report lower household incomes than those who do not smoke, and the habit is more common among those with less education, those who are less religious and those who say they drink alcohol.
