The prevalence of tobacco consumption is reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), which focuses on smoking (not smokeless tobacco chewing) due to limited data reported. Smoking has therefore been studied more widely than any other form of consumption.
Smoking is generally five times higher among men than women; However, the gender gap decreases with younger age. In developed countries, the smoking rate for men has reached its peak and begins to decline, and also begins to decline or decrease for women.
Smoking prevalence has changed little since the mid-1990s, before it declined in English-speaking countries due to the implementation of tobacco control. However, the number of smokers worldwide has increased from 721 million in 1980 to 967 million in 2012 and the number of cigarettes smoked increased from 4.96 trillion to 6.25 trillion due to population growth.
In Western countries, smoking is more common among residents with mental health problems, with alcohol and drug problems, among criminals, and among the homeless.
In 2002, about twenty percent of young adolescents (13-15) smoked around the world. 80,000 to 100,000 children start smoking every day. Half of those who start smoking in adolescence are projected to smoke for 15 to 20 years.
The World Health Organization (WHO) states that "Most burden of disease and premature deaths caused by tobacco use disproportionately affect the poor". Of the 1.22 billion smokers, 1 billion of them live in developing countries or transition economies. Smoking rates have declined or decreased in developed countries. In developing countries, tobacco consumption increased 3.4% annually in 2002.
WHO in 2004 projected 58.8 million deaths globally, from 5.4 million attributable to tobacco, and 4.9 million in 2007. In 2002, 70% of deaths occurred in developing countries.
It is estimated that 1.5 to 1.9 billion people will become smokers by 2025.

Country
Australia
In Australia, the incidence of smoking declined, with figures from the 2011-12 Australian Health Survey showing 18% of the population being current smokers, a decrease of 28% in 1989-90.
Among the indigenous population, the figure was much higher: 50% of men and 44% of women reported to be current smokers in 2007-08.
People aged 25 to 34 are the most likely to smoke (24%), with a sharp decline in smoking rates as they age through 45 years in 2011-12.
In 2007-08, the prevalence of smoking was strongly associated with socioeconomic losses: the greater proportion of males (33%) and women (26%) living in the most disadvantaged areas 20% were current smokers than those who lived in the most less 20% â € <â € By 2016 the daily smoking rate is less than 13%. Canada
In December 2002, Statistics Canada published a report on the prevalence of smoking from 1985-2001. In the report they found 1985-1991, the prevalence of "current smoking" (which they define as daily smokers and occasional smokers) declines overall, for both sexes and all age groups except for those aged 15 to 24. The prevalence of current smoking for youth did not change significantly from 1985 to 1994-1995, there was a significant decrease from 6 percentage points from 1994 to 1995 to 2001 (from 28.5% to 22.5% ). Provinces, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, experienced the bulk of their decline in current smoking prevalence from 1994-1995 onwards. All provinces experienced some degree of decline during the period from 1985 to 2001. The decline in the prevalence of daily smoking occurred for both sexes and all age groups over a 17-year span, although smoking in adolescents did not begin to decline significantly until the mid-1990s. Overall, for daily cigarette consumption, smokers in 2001 had a much lower proportion of 26 or more cigarettes per day compared to 1985 (14.0% to 5.8%). Most declines in sex or different age groups occurred after 1991. However, at the same time, smokers in 2001 had a significantly higher smoking proportion of 1 to 10 cigarettes per day compared to 1985 (18.6% 31.1%). Most of the decline occurred after 1991. In 2008, the figure was estimated to be 18%, and decreased. The 2011 survey estimated that 17% of Canadians smoked.
German
In 2005, 27% of the population claimed to be current smokers. 23% were regular smokers (28% male and 19% female), while 4% smoked irregularly. The highest ratio of regular smokers is in the 20-24: 38% male and 30% female age group. According to a 2010 study by the University of Bielefeld, 9.9% of all 15-year-old men and 10.8% of 15-year-old women smoke every day, which shows a strong decline over the last decade.
As in industrialized countries the smoking rate in Germany decreases with increasing levels of education.
A 2006 comparative study found that 25.1% of men and 20.6% of female medical students in GÃÆ'¶ttingen smoked, while in London the ratio was only 10.9% and 9.1%.
Germany has the largest number of cigarettes per capita machine in the world: 800,000 per 82 million people.
Israel
In Israel, the prevalence of smoking among men remained relatively constant at 30% in 1994-2004. Among women, the prevalence slightly decreased from 25% in 1998 to 18% in 2003. For adolescents, 14% smoked at least once a week in a publication in 2001.
In 2005, research has shown that Israeli youth have begun using bidi and hookah, as an alternative method of tobacco use. In 1990, smoking was the cause of about 1,800 male deaths in Israel which is about 12% of all male deaths. Smoking has not been found to be a significant cause of death among Israeli women. The average number of cigarettes smoked per Israel is 2162 (6).
There are several applicable anti-tobacco use laws. For example, ads are prohibited in teen publications and are prohibited on television and radio. in addition to the substantial increase in tobacco taxes, although comparatively the price is still among the lowest compared to all European countries. In addition, up to 2004, there was no minimum age requirement to buy tobacco products in Israel; however, amendments to tobacco marketing laws and tobacco advertising that became effective in 2004 restricted the sale of tobacco to people over the age of 18 year.
According to the Central Bureau of Statistics of Israel, the smoking rate in Israeli adult population in 2009 was 20.9%, down from 34% in 2000. A national Ministry of Health survey conducted in 2011 found that 20.6% of the population aged 21 and older are smokers. The highest percentage of smokers was among Arab men, 44% percent of whom smoked, although this number fell from 50% in 1996.
New Zealand
Tobacco consumption in New Zealand peaked in the mid-1970s when 60% of the population was smokers. In 2011 that number dropped to 20% of the population, thanks to the strictest tobacco control laws that are among the most stringent in the world. Regardless of this law, however, the number of smokers seems to increase as the global economy worsens and a spate of recent natural disasters have witnessed an increase in tobacco sales and although more men smoke than women, this gap gradually narrows. Maori tobacco consumption remains highly disproportionate despite declining over the past few years thanks to television commercials, internet, radio and anti-cigarette print media aimed at Maori. The high level of Maori tobacco consumption has been explained by many Maori health advocates and academics as "cultural genocide".
Romanian
According to the Romanian Ministry of Health, smoking rates among the general public declined from 36% in 2004 to 26% in 2011. A report commissioned in 2012 revealed that 34.9% of men smoked every day, compared with 14.5% of women , and in the previous 12 months, 37.8% of regular smokers have tried to quit at least once. Despite the general decline in the prevalence of smoking, the rate among women almost doubled from 1991-2011, with 55% of women smokers falling within the 15-34 year age group.
Swedish
The first study of smoking habits in Sweden was done in 1946. This shows that 50% of men, and 9% of women are smokers. In 1977, 32% of women and 41% of men were smokers. The use of tobacco tobacco, on a daily basis, in 2011 decreased to only 12.5% ​​and 14.3% among women. Snus use, every day among men older than 15 years, is about 19.4% and only 3.0% for women.
United Kingdom
Figures from 2013 show that the proportion of the UK population (UK excluding Northern Ireland) whose smoking has dropped to 19%. The UK Health Survey in 2002 found a smoking rate of 26%. In 2007 the proportion of adult smokers in the UK has dropped four percentage points to 22%. By 2015, reported smoking rates in the UK dropped to just 16.9%, a record low. Overall, the number of smokers in the UK in 2007 is estimated at 13.7 million. The rates of smoking among the most socioeconomically affluent patients were 14% in 2007 and 34% for the most deprived.
United States
According to the CDC, by 2015, a total of 15.1% of US adults (16.7% of men and 13.6% of women) smoked, which fell from 20.9% a decade earlier. US smokers in 2005, 80.8% (or 36.5 million) smoked every day, and 19.2% (or 8.7 million) smoked a few days. The prevalence of current smoking also varies substantially across population groups. For example, smoking is currently higher among men in 23.9% compared to women at 18.1%. This is consistent with other countries (see table). Among racial and ethnic groups, Native Americans and Alaska Natives had the highest prevalence at 32.0%, followed by non-Hispanic whites at 21.9%, and non-Hispanic blacks at 21.5%. Hispanics of 16.2%, and Asians of 13.3% had the lowest rates.
Smoking prevalence is also based on educational level, with the highest among adults who have received a General Development Education (GED) diploma of 43.2% and those with a 9 to 11 year education of 32.6%. Prevalence generally decreases with increasing education. Adults aged 18-24 years are at 24.4% and 25-44 years are at 24.1% having the highest prevalence. Smoking prevalence is currently higher among adults living below the poverty line at 29.9% than among those at or above the poverty line at 20.6%.
In 2005, the CDC set a 2010 target of 12% for current smoking prevalence. Certain populations have surpassed this when it is established. These include Hispanics (11.1%) and Asian (6.1%) women, women with undergraduate degrees (9.6%) or graduates (7.4%) degrees, men with undergraduate degrees (11.9%) or graduates (6.9%) degrees, men over 65 years (8.9%), and women over 65 years (8.3%).
By 2013, the national smoking rate in the United States is 19.6% of the adult population. The following have some of the lowest percentages of smokers with their status:
- Utah, 10.6%, the lowest percentage of smokers.
- Hawaii, 14.6%, the 3rd lowest.
- Connecticut, 16%, lowest 4th.
- Massachusetts, 16.4%, lowest 7.
- Vermont, 16.5%, lowest 9.
Among cigarette smokers in 2005, an estimated 42.5% had quit smoking for at least 1 day during the previous 12 months because they tried to quit smoking. Of the approximately 42.5% (or 91.8 million) people who smoked at least 100 cigarettes during their lifetime (questions asked by the CDC to gauge whether they had smoked or not) 50.8% (or 46.5 million ) does not smoke at this time. In 2005, the current prevalence of cigar smoking was 2.2% and current smokeless tobacco use was 2.3%. The prevalence of smoking cigars and smokeless tobacco use was higher among males (4.3% and 4.5%, respectively) than for females (0.3% and 0.2%).
There is a large regional difference in smoking rates, with Kentucky, West Virginia, Oklahoma and Mississippi being ranked top, and Idaho, California and Utah at much lower rates. The American Tobacco industry is slightly affected by the overall declining rate of tobacco consumption.
People with mental illness, making about 20% of the population, consume about 33% of used tobacco. People with serious mental illness die 25 years earlier than the average, often because of smoking-related illnesses.
In November 2015, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention stated in their report, "The percentage of US adults who smoked declined from 20.9 percent in 2005 to 16.8 percent by 2014. Smoking cigarettes were significantly lower at by 2014 (16.8 percent) from 2013 (17.8 percent). "The CDC concludes this from data obtained from an American survey. However, researchers say they are not sure whether products such as electronic cigarettes can help reduce smokers in the country. About 4,000 minors start smoking in the US every day.

The following is a list of countries based on the percentage of smoking tobacco age prevalence among people aged 15 years and older by 2015 as published by the World Health Organization in 2016.
2008 data
The following is from table b of the WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic (2008). From the initial survey, the data is adjusted so that it is comparable between countries. Because of this, however, this is not to conclude the prevalence in these countries ( table a provides for this). It contains 135 "Countries with internationally-adjusted data currently comparable", 18 "Countries with national data that are not new or comparable internationally", and 41 "States without data". Data showing smoking tobacco products at the time of the survey included daily and non-daily smoking; the error is 95% confidence interval (CI).
