Smoking

People aged 15 and over who use tobacco, in percent, and among men and women.

This is the share of people aged 15 and over who use tobacco, smoked or smokeless, and the shares among men and among women; it is age-standardised, so countries with young and old populations compare. Men smoke far more than women in most of Asia and Africa, while the gap is small in Europe. The World Health Organization estimates the rates from national surveys, every few years from 2000, and the World Bank republishes them.
