It is projected that the prevalence of tobacco use among those aged 15-24 years will decrease from 20.5 percent in 2000 to 11.8 percent in 2030. This statistic depicts the prevalence of tobacco use worldwide from 2000 to 2022 and projections for 2025 and 2030, by age

From 1965 to 2019, the prevalence of cigarette smoking in the U.S. has decreased from about 42 percent to 14 percent. Cigarette smoking is a known risk factor for many types of cancers including lung cancer, bladder cancer and pancreatic cancer. Globally tobacco use is one of the greatest risk factors for preventable diseases. There are several resources in the United States to help individuals quit smoking including website, hotlines, medications and text message programs.

Smoking prevalence globally

Globally, smoking prevalence has also decreased is projected to continue to decline through 2025. North America makes up a small percentage of the world’s cigarette smokers. The highest prevalence of tobacco smoking can be found in Europe, followed by the Western Pacific. In the past few decades there have been stronger efforts made to reduce cigarette consumption in many parts of the world. Cigarettes are taxed separately in many countries and are often required to add health warnings to cigarette packaging for consumers.

Smoking cessation measures

Smoking prevention measures cover a broad range of targeted cigarette reduction. Common tobacco control policies include warning labels, advertising bans, and smoke-free environments. As of 2020, around 60 percent of the world population lived in a place where there were warning labels on tobacco products. Furthermore, in 2020, around 34 percent of U.S. employers offered smoking cessation programs to their employees.

It is projected that the prevalence of tobacco smoking among men will decrease from 43.5 percent in 2000 to 26.4 percent in 2025. This statistic depicts the prevalence of tobacco smoking worldwide from 2000 to 2020 and projections for 2025, by sex.

U.S. smoking rate for 2020 was 23.00%, a 0.4% decline from 2019.

• U.S. smoking rate for 2019 was 23.40%, a 0% increase from 2018.
• U.S. smoking rate for 2018 was 23.40%, a 1.9% decline from 2015.
• U.S. smoking rate for 2015 was 25.30%, a 2.7% decline from 2010.

The total number of cigarettes consumed in the United States has decreased over the past few decades. In 2015, around 267 billion cigarettes were consumed, compared to around 632 billion in 1980. This decrease is most likely due to a combination of higher taxes on cigarettes, restrictions on public smoking, and increased awareness of the health risks of smoking.

Health risks of smoking

The negative health impacts of smoking are now widely known and proven. Among men, smokers are 25 times more likely to develop lung cancer than nonsmokers. Smoking also increases the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and other cancers. Around 47 percent of deaths from oral cavity and pharynx cancers can be attributed to cigarette smoking as well as 45 percent of deaths from urinary bladder cancer.

Quitting

A large percentage of smokers want to quit, with up to 78 percent of those who smoke less than one pack a day wanting to do so. Quitting smoking can be extremely difficult, but there are many ways to assist in breaking the habit. Smoking cessation programs are one of the most popular wellness programs employers provide to employees in the United States.

United States US: Prevalence of Current Tobacco Use: % of Adults data was reported at 23.000 % in 2020. This records a decrease from the previous number of 23.400 % for 2019. United States US: Prevalence of Current Tobacco Use: % of Adults data is updated yearly, averaging 25.300 % from Dec 2000 (Median) to 2020, with 7 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 33.800 % in 2000 and a record low of 23.000 % in 2020. United States US: Prevalence of Current Tobacco Use: % of Adults data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s United States – Table US.World Bank.WDI: Social: Health Statistics. The percentage of the population ages 15 years and over who currently use any tobacco product (smoked and/or smokeless tobacco) on a daily or non-daily basis. Tobacco products include cigarettes, pipes, cigars, cigarillos, waterpipes (hookah, shisha), bidis, kretek, heated tobacco products, and all forms of smokeless (oral and nasal) tobacco. Tobacco products exclude e-cigarettes (which do not contain tobacco), “e-cigars”, “e-hookahs”, JUUL and “e-pipes”. The rates are age-standardized to the WHO Standard Population.;World Health Organization, Global Health Observatory Data Repository (http://apps.who.int/ghodata/).;Weighted average;This is the Sustainable Development Goal indicator 3.a.1 [https://unstats.un.org/sdgs/metadata/]. Previous indicator name: Smoking prevalence, total (ages 15+) The previous indicator excluded smokeless tobacco use, while the current indicator includes. The indicator name and definition were updated in December, 2020.

Prevalence of smoking is the percentage of men and women ages 15 and over who currently smoke any tobacco product on a daily or non-daily basis. It excludes smokeless tobacco use. The rates are age-standardized.

As of 2021, around 28.3 million adults in the United States were current cigarette smokers. Although this figure is still high, it is significantly lower compared to previous years. For example, in 2011, there were almost 44 million smokers in the United States.

Smoking demographics in the U.S. Although smoking in the U.S. has decreased greatly over the past few decades it is still more common among certain demographics than others. For example, men are more likely to be current cigarette smokers than women, with 13 percent of men smoking in 2021, compared to 10 percent of women. Furthermore, non-Hispanic whites and non-Hispanic Blacks smoke at higher rates than Hispanics and non-Hispanic Asians, with almost 13 percent of non-Hispanic whites smoking in 2021, compared to just over five percent of non-Hispanic Asians. Certain regions and states also have a higher prevalence of smoking than others, with around 20 percent of adults in West Virginia considered current smokers, compared to just six percent in Utah.

The health impacts of smoking The decrease in smoking rates in the United States over the past decades is due to many factors including policies and regulations limiting cigarette advertising, promotion, and sales, price increases for cigarettes, and widespread awareness among the public of the dangers of smoking. According to the CDC, those who smoke are two to four times more likely to develop coronary heart disease and stroke and around 25 times more likely to develop lung cancer than nonsmokers. In fact, it is estimated that around 81 percent of lung cancer deaths in the United States can be attributed to cigarette smoking, as well as 72 percent of larynx cancer deaths. Cigarette smokers are also much more likely to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with around 16 percent of current smokers in the U.S. living with COPD in 2021, compared to just three percent of those who had never smoked.

As of 2023, the U.S. states with the highest smoking rates included West Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana. In West Virginia, around 20 percent of all adults smoked as of this time. The number of smokers in the United States has decreased over the past decades. Who smokes? The smoking rates for both men and women have decreased for many years, but men continue to smoke at higher rates than women. As of 2021, around 13 percent of men were smokers compared to 10 percent of women. Concerning race and ethnicity, smoking is least prevalent among Asians with just five percent of this population smoking compared to 13 percent of non-Hispanic whites. Health impacts of smoking The negative health impacts of smoking are vast. Smoking increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and many different types of cancers. For example, smoking is estimated to be attributable to 81 percent of all deaths from lung cancer among adults 30 years and older in the United States. Smoking is currently the leading cause of preventable death in the United States.

In 2020, over a quarter of China’s population aged 15 years and older were tobacco users. The share of tobacco users in the general population has been on a downward trend in the past decade, especially among male adults.

An important source of profit and tax China has one of the world's most important tobacco markets. In 2021, the country's tobacco sector contributed more than 1.3 trillion yuan in profits and tax revenue, while creating many opportunities and employment along the value chain. Despite persistent calls for a reduction in the use of cigarettes in the country, China's tobacco market is still expanding. In recent years, e-cigarettes have also gained popularity in China, particularly appealing to younger smokers.

Health risks associated with tobacco use Tobacco use has long-lasting and substantial health implications, including an increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. As a result, smoking has emerged as one of the most severe threats to public health in China, further straining the country's already under-resourced healthcare system. To reduce smoking and its impact on the country's population, several tobacco control legislations and rules are widely implemented in China, including bans on smoking in certain public spaces and prohibitions on tobacco advertisements.

This statistic depicts the number of tobacco smokers worldwide from 2000 to 2022 with a forecast for 2025 and 2030, by region. According to the data, the number of smokers in the Western Pacific region is expected to increase from 353 million people in 2000 to 365 million people in 2025.

In 2020, around 5.2 trillion cigarettes were consumed worldwide. This was a decrease from the total number of cigarettes consumed in previous years. The region with the highest number of cigarettes consumed worldwide, excluding China, is Europe. However, China alone consumed over double the number of cigarettes that Europe did in 2020.

Smoking continues to decrease around the world Overall, the prevalence of tobacco smoking has decreased around the world. In the year 2000, it was estimated that around 27 percent of the world population smoked, with this number decreasing to 17 percent by the year 2020. Every region around the world has seen a decrease in tobacco smoking, but some places have seen larger declines than others with South-East Asia seeing the largest change from 2000 to 2020. Men continue to smoke at much higher rates than women, although the prevalence of tobacco smoking among both men and women has declined over the past two decades. In 2020, around 29 percent of men and five percent of women worldwide smoked. In the year 2000 an astonishing 44 percent of men smoked tobacco.

Which countries smoke the most? As of 2019, the country with the highest number of smokers was China. As of that time, there were around 341 million people in China who smoked. However, given that China is the country with the largest population worldwide, it may not be surprising that it has the highest number of smokers. When looking at the percentage of the population that smokes, China is not even among the top 20 countries. The countries with the highest prevalence of smokers are Kiribati, Nauru, and Papa New Guinea. On both of the small Pacific Island countries of Kiribati and Nauru around 37 percent of the population smokes tobacco.
