Figure 2.
Prevalence of past-year quit attempt and cessation treatment use by provider advice among Hispanic current smokers and non-Hispanic white current smokers aged ≥18 years, National Health Interview Survey, United States, 2015. “No visit” indicates no visit to a health care provider in the past year. The value for prevalence of treatment use among Hispanic adults with no visit is not reported because of unstable estimates. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals.
