Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Poor dietary choices, such as excessively frequenting restaurants, consuming ready-to-eat foods from grocery stores, and ingesting ultra-processed foods (like frozen meals and pizzas), can adversely impact health. Despite this, research comparing dietary behaviors between smokers and non-smokers is limited. Using data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2017\u20132018, we analyzed diet behavior based on smoking status. Our findings reveal that smokers had a significant increase (90%) in the frequency of consuming frozen meals\/pizzas in the past 30 days compared to non-smokers (coefficient: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.4, 2.6; p-value &lt; 0.001). Additionally, over 70% of participants, regardless of their smoking status, were unaware of MyPlate, a nutritional guide created by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to encourage Americans to make healthier food choices. There is an urgent need to increase public awareness of MyPlate and promote a better understanding of healthy dietary behaviors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16132035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,27]],"date-time":"2024-06-27T04:19:26Z","timestamp":1719461966000},"page":"2035","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Dietary Patterns among Smokers and Non-Smokers: Findings from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017\u20132018"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8245-9063","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenxue","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, College of Public Health, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3700-4086","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hani A.","family":"Alfheeaid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, College of Agriculture and Food, Qassim University, Buraydah 51452, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0316-1374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Alasqah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community, Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, College of Nursing, Qassim University, Buraydah 51452, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"School of Health, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1814-2248","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nada","family":"Alqarawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community, Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, College of Nursing, Qassim University, Buraydah 51452, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Saad Abdullah","family":"Alotaibi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, College of Applied Medical Sciences, Qassim University, Buraydah 51452, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"given":"Fatmah Fahad","family":"Alribdi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Director of Model of Care, Qassim Health Cluster, Buraydah 52367, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4810-6018","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sulaiman","family":"Almutairi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Informatics, College of Applied Medical Sciences, Qassim University, Buraydah 51452, Saudi Arabia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0597-7892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Jo\u00e3o","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CERNAS Research Centre, Polytechnic University of Viseu, 3504-510 Viseu, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6346-8319","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edite","family":"Teixeira-Lemos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CERNAS Research Centre, Polytechnic University of Viseu, 3504-510 Viseu, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5286-2249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Raposo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CBIOS (Research Center for Biosciences and Health Technologies), Universidade Lus\u00f3fona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, Campo Grande 376, 1749-024 Lisboa, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2024, March 09).
