QuoteWizard analyzed NHTSA FARS data on fatal car crashes by
time of day. We looked at the total number of fatal car crashes
from 2013 to 2017 that occurred during brunch hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. To get rankings, we compared the
total number of fatal crashes with the total number of
alcohol-impaired fatal crashes to see which states had the highest

Rankings are from 1st, the highest rate of alcohol-impaired
crashes, to 50th, lowest rate of alcohol-impaired crashes.

Methodology
QuoteWizard analyzed data from the CDC's
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System of e-cigarette users in
all 50 states. We took the crude prevalence of current e-cigarette
users in each state and ranked all 50 states from the highest crude
prevalence to the lowest crude prevalence. States with the highest
crude prevalence are considered to have the highest rate of
e-cigarette users and are therefore most likely to be affected by
e-cigarettes in terms of their health insurance premiums.
