The percentage from tobacco taxes. New Hampshire is highest at 2.6%. That reflects its neighbors' high tax rates more than its own smoking: a low-tax state surrounded by high-tax ones sells to people from both.

Population makeup
How this measure varies with the racial and ethnic makeup of states. Every group is shown, whatever its rank. These are links across states: they describe places, not people. They say nothing about any person’s risk or behaviour based on their race. States with a larger share of one group also differ in much else, such as income, segregation, region and history. The adjusted figure only accounts for density, income and education.
