<P> Smoking rates in the United States have dropped by half from 1965 to 2006 falling from 42% to 20.8% of adults, with further significant decline to 18% by 2012 . There are large regional differences in smoking rates, with Kentucky, West Virginia, Oklahoma and Mississippi topping the list, and Idaho, California and Utah at significantly lower rates . </P> <P> In Australia the incidence of smoking is in decline, with figures from 2011--13 showing 16.1% of the population (over 18) to be daily smokers, a decline from 22.4% in 2001 . Young adults are the most likely age group to smoke, with a marked decline in smoking rates with increasing age . The prevalence of smoking is strongly associated with socioeconomic disadvantage (low earners), with over double the rate in the most disadvantaged quintile of the population as compared to the least . Smoking rates in rural areas is higher than in city areas; for example, some areas in Tasmania have smoking rates of over 36% according to one study . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Ranking </Th> <Th> Country
