Redesign full size.

The visualization I redesigned posed the question “why are pot smokers skinny?” and never answered it. It didn’t even try to answer it, really. It just went on about the gender, ethnicity, marital status, etc of the people involved without much attention to why they are thin, or if they even are. According to waist circumference stats at the bottom,  they aren’t even thinner than the other groups. Additionally, the age-group of 30-32 year olds were missing, and according to the numbers 1000 more people answered that category than answered the survey as a whole.
