3% Follow Health Guidelines

According to a Reuters story on CNN, only 3% of Americans follow health guidelines to keep their weight down, eat healthy foods (lots of fruits & veggies), exercise, and not smoke. Larger percentages of people do some of the things, but only 3% do all four.

I'm wondering what fraction of the population follow none of the guidelines. How many cigarette-smoking, overweight, junk-food-eating couch potatoes are there?
