In examining the smoking patterns, Holland registered the highest incidence of daily smokers at approximately 60% in 1960, which gradually decreased to about 28% by 2000. The United States and Japan exhibited very similar trends, commencing with smoking rates of around 50% and 55% respectively in 1960, both seeing a decline to approximately 25% by the end of the surveyed period. Notably, the U.S. maintained a relatively stable smoking rate until 1970 before experiencing a gradual decline, paralleling Japan's trajectory after 1980, where both countries shared smoking rates of roughly 30%.
