Huh I'm surprised smoking has only declined by 25% in the lat 20 years. I'd have guessed at least 50%.

    The decline in smoking started well before 20 years ago, smoking rates used to be like 50% of the adult population, now it's down to 10%ish.

    However, based on online graphs, it seems like it has been closer to 50% over the last 20 years.
