In 2023, 11% of men aged 15+ in the US were daily smokers. Forecasts suggest a declining trend in tobacco consumption, decreasing from 10.4% in 2024 to 9% by 2028. The year-on-year reduction from 2024 to 2025 is 3.85%, while a 3% decline follows from 2025 to 2026. The overall compound annual growth rate over five years is about -4.54%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Continued public health campaigns and regulations potentially driving further declines in smoking rates.
- Impact of alternative nicotine products like vaping on traditional tobacco consumption.
- Evolving societal attitudes towards smoking and increased health consciousness among younger demographics.
