Australian smokers will be extinct by 2030
Smoking will be virtually extinct in Australia within 25 years and more frowned upon than spitting in the street, according to researchers who have scientifically mapped the end of the smoking epidemic.A study by Curtin University in Western Australia suggests that women will be the first to butt out for good. Statistically, there will be no female smokers in Australia by 2029, while men will take a year longer to kick the habit. Australia has the lowest smoking rate of any industrialised country, and possibly the lowest in the world. Smoking rates in Australia for those aged 15 and over have fallen from more than 70% some 60 years ago to 17.4% last year, according to the Australian Institute of Health.
