Age-standardised estimates and estimates for the 15–19 age group are reported. 95% uncertainty intervals are reported in parentheses. Overall rank is calculated based on the size of the smoking population, both sexes and all ages (10 years and older) combined. Ages 15–19 years rank is calculated based on the size of the smoking population aged 15–19 years, both sexes combined.
