Public Health service, as part of the Tegular monthly census survey of employment-unemployment. The 25,000 householders are scattered over the nation in 230 ample survey areas representing every important type in cities, suburbs, small towns, rural communities and farm areas. A list of questions worked out by the Health Service and the Census Bureau are designed to lead to an estimate of how many Americans smoke, how many are heavy, moderate or light smok ers, and how long they have been at it. The survey also may yield other information such as what, if any, difference there is in the smoking habits of city dwellers and farm families. Whether the data collected will be adequate to make such detailed comparisons is doubtful, officials said.
