What is a normal pulse rate ?

I'm a 35yr old man and I'm wondering whether I should be concerned about my pulse rate. It is consistently in the high 80's to mid 90's at rest. I'm a light smoker, about 10lbs overweight and have a terrible diet. I know I have to correct my diet, quit smoking and exercise more but is my pulse rate a concern in and of itself ? Thanks in advance.
