Overall, the numbers in the given charts adhered to declining trends, albeit to varying degrees. While, men generally had higher smokers, whereas women remained at bottom, despite a gradual increase at the initial phase.

Men stand at peak in the initial years, having individuals of 600,000. It was not until these costs began to plunge at the turn of the century, with the men smokers falling the numbers to 500,000 in 1980.
