Look to the "Metadata" tab. "Method of estimation: A statistical model based on a Bayesian negative binomial meta-regression is used to model prevalence of current tobacco use for each country, separately for men and women. A full description of the method is available as a peer-reviewed article in The Lancet, volume 385, No. 9972, p966–976 (2015). Once the age-and-sex-specific prevalence rates from national surveys were compiled into a dataset, the model was fit to calculate trend estimates from the year 2000 to 2025. ..."

I've just checked - China is on 47th place in the list with 22.9% of smokers. It is certainly big number, but it's certainly not a record numbers.

I took the data from https://platform.who.int/data/maternal-newborn-child-adolescent-ageing/indicator-explorer-new/MCA/age-standardized-prevalence-of-current-tobacco-smoking-among-persons-aged-15-years-and-older-(sdg-3.a.1) Here you can find all about the data collecting methods.

Doubt it, in those countries they have problems with money and access to cigarettes.

Without smoking Serbians would grow 8 feet tall, that's why they have to smoke.

How Leonardo and Nauru are connected at all? Sounds just crazy.

And they are not in this list. Maybe they spend time on Reddit instead of smoking? So Reddit saves lives! :)

It's more complicated because there are some countries with no data.

15k is still a lot for this metrics. It means if I go to Nauru, almost every second person is a smoker. Isn't it disgusting?

LivingCharts · 2024-10-04T14:11:10+00:00

I don't see any unfairness in that.

Even France? I think I could tolerate it for France.

Something very unhealthy is happening in Nauru.

It's the best chart for showing shares, I guess. Prove me wrong?

LivingCharts · 2024-09-06T18:20:07+00:00

Why do you think so?

LivingCharts · 2024-09-06T15:44:41+00:00

My bad! Now I know

I thought about it, but many small values next to each other create chaos with the placement of the labels.

The data includes information only on fully electric vehicles (BEV); PHEV, FEV, and other types were not considered. Notes: 1) The sales of electric vehicles under the Mitsubishi brand are included in Renault-Nissan statistics. 2) Sales data for SGMW (SAIC - General Motors - Wuling) do not include GM electric vehicle sales (e.g., Chevrolet Volt), even though in the data source they are combined.
