Global smoking declines but total smokers rise due to population growth
Studies show smoking fell about 25 percent among men in 187 countries from 1980 to 2012 and 42 percent among women. Despite this, global smoker numbers grow as populations expand with high rates in Russia Indonesia Armenia and high female rates in Chile France and Greece. In the U S nurses dropped to 7 percent in 2010 11 from 11 percent in 2003 while licensed practical nurses reached 25 percent. Nicotine replacement therapies work better than placebos but many quitters relapse within a year. E cigarettes may aid quitting but long term safety is unclear and they carry nicotine exposure risks for nonusers.
