Marijuana use reached a record high in new polling, as for the first time more Americans said they smoke marijuana than reported smoking cigarettes in the last week.
一項最新民調顯示，上週美國吸食大麻的人數創下了歷史新高，首次超過了吸煙人數。
Sixteen percent of Americans in a new Gallup poll reported smoking marijuana, up from 12 percent last year and more than double the all-time low of 7 percent.
蓋洛普民調顯示，16%的受訪者承認吸食大麻，高於2021年的12%，比7%的歷史低點高出一倍多。
Fewer Americans, at 11 percent, reported smoking cigarettes in the past week, down from 16 percent last year and a far fall from a peak at 45 percent in the 1950s.
上週，承認吸煙的受訪者為11%，低於2021年的16%，遠低於上世紀50年代45%的峯值。
It’s the highest percentage of reported marijuana use and the lowest percentage of past-week cigarette use since Gallup started asking those questions in 2013 and 1944, respectively.
自蓋洛普分別於2013年和1944年開始進行這兩項調查以來，上週受訪者大麻吸食率是最高的，吸煙率是最低的。
Nearly half of US adults now report having tried marijuana, up from 4 percent when Gallup first surveyed about its use in 1969.
如今，近一半美國成年人承認曾嘗試過大麻，而蓋洛普1969年首次調查大麻使用情況時，這一比例僅為4%。
