Smoking: where do cigarettes still reign?
Globally, cigarette smoking is gradually becoming a thing of the past, but as survey data from Statista Consumer Insights shows, in some countries the habit is by no means endangered.
As Statista's Martin Armstrong reports, although aggressive pushes by the tobacco industry in some regions have led to a recent increase in consumption among the population, the "last bastions" of cigarette smoking still linger in already established markets. Here is the percentage of smokers aged between 18 and 64 in the countries where the habit is more widespread
Russia is one such place, where 46% admitted to smoking cigarettes at least occasionally.
In Western Europe, Spanish respondents showed similarly high levels of consumption (42%), while Germany came close behind with 40%.
the countries that have lost the habit the most are Canada and the United Kingdom, where the percentages of smokers are lower, but still around 30%.
