The good news is that overall cigarette smoking rates across virtually every demographic category have fallen since the first survey was carried out five years ago in 1998. I will share some of the statistics with the House because they bear public examination. The highest smoking rates are still among the younger adult population. Some 34% among those aged between 18 and 34 still smoke, which is a fall from the 39% rate in 1998, but the rate is still very high. That suggests why Senator Henry could confirm that we have the epidemic of lung cancer among middle aged women. The rate of cigarette smoking among those between the ages of 35 and 54 is 25%, which is a fall from the 30% rate in 1998. The rate among those aged 55 and upwards is 17%, which is a fall from the 20% rate in 1998. Among school-going children, 19% still report they are smokers in contrast to 21% in 1998.
