The provided line graph illustrates the information in context to how many people smoked in different countries;
whereas
, the level of consuming liquor was changed throughout the period (1960-2000) is depicted by the
second
chart. From my
overall
analysis, the striking feature was concerned in Holland in both cases: the percentage of people who smoke every day and drink consumption. Glancing at illustrating, it can be seen thoroughly, in the initial year (1960), nearly 60% of people were smoking in Holland. After that,
this
figure decreased continuously from 1970 to 2000, which was recorded at 35%.
Moreover
, in Japan and the USA, the rate of taking smoke was the lowest in 1960,
that is
, 40-50%.
Thereafter
, both figures were followed by a downward trend, and the values were reached at the trough point (approximately 18% in the USA and 33% in Japan). Having a glance towards the
next
graph, only seven-liter liquor was used by USA citizens in 1960. It continues inclined between 1960 and 1980, and in 2000, the value declined with a small difference: by two.
However
, the lowest figure was noticed by the tax during the period: 1-2 liter. The consumption level of alcohol rose higher from 1960 to 1980 (4 to 11 liter) in Holland.
