The provided line graph compares the rate of smoking in Someland between males and famelas, measured per 1000 people, over a period of 40 years, from 1960 to 2000.
Overall, while the numbers of women smoking rate experienced a constant increase, the reverse pattern was true in the case of men. It is also networthy to mention that men had higher smoking rates compared to women.
In 1960, the incidence of tobacco use in men was its peak, at 600, in comparison with the initial number of slightly lower than 100 in women. From 1965 onwards, the figures for male tobacco consumption saw a gradual downward trajectories, plummeting to 500 in the mid-1980, and ultimately vanished with a record incidence of marginally over than 200.
In a stark contrast, smoking patterns among women started at a substantially lower level, but then figures constantly surged to 300 in 1975 and remained stable for a decade, until 1985. Subsequently, there was a noticeable decrease to 200 in the final year (2000).
