Overall Dataset
Trend
The overall trend that is visible in this data set is that cigarette use is the most common form of tobacco use across all races. Also, it is evident that all forms of tobacco use are most common among white people.
Process
The process I used was pretty simple. I first downloaded the data set from data.gov as an Excel file. I then cleaned my data by removing empty datapoints and irrelevant information to the point I was trying to prove. I had some previous experience using Excel, so I didn’t struggle with the overall cleaning process, but watched the informational video from Canva to show exactly what should be kept/ removed. Trying to figure out the point I wanted to make was probably the most time consuming part of this project. The overall NATS shows race, education level, gender, etc. along with tobacco use, so there were many options for what I could’ve chosen. After finally deciding my point, I then went through each chart to decide which showed this relationship the clearest.
