It’s the season of New Year’s resolutions again, and Americans are apparently more inclined to quit or reduce their use of alcohol and tobacco than want to abstain from marijuana, according to a new poll.
The survey from Censuswide, which was commissioned by Northerner.com, asked 1,003 U.S. adults about their resolutions for 2026. Among the 15 options, respondents were least inclined to curb their cannabis use.
Just 8 percent of Americans said they wanted to reduce or cease their marijuana consumption. By contrast, 10 percent said they wanted to limit alcohol use, 12 percent said the same about tobacco and 16 percent wanted to limit their social media use.
The most common New Year’s resolution commitment was to improve physical health, at 35 percent.
Young people aged 21-24 were most likely (13 percent) to say they wanted to lower or quit their marijuana use, followed by those 25-34 (12 percent), 45-54 (5 percent) and 55+ (4 percent).
Men were twice as likely (12 percent) to say they wanted to cut out cannabis compared to women (6 percent). And among those who said they wanted to reduce marijuana use in 2026, 40 percent said they’ve tried and failed in the past.
