Smoking rates in Orange County correlate with wealth and social equity, with wealthier coastal areas having lower rates and central cities showing higher numbers. The habit disproportionately affects lower-income communities, including Asian immigrants, and is linked to significant health and economic burdens. Despite high costs, smoking persists due to stress, cultural factors, and easy access in poorer neighborhoods. County programs and quitting aids aim to reduce rates and improve health.
