<P> Cigarettes are smoked by over 1 billion people , which is nearly 20 % of the world population in 2014 . About 800 million of these smokers are men . While smoking rates have leveled off or declined in developed nations , especially among men , in developing nations tobacco consumption continues to rise . More than 80 % of all smokers now live in countries with low or middle incomes , and 60 % in just 10 countries , a list headed by China . Smokers are over half of adult males in Indonesia ( 57 % , but mostly kretek , a local form of cigarette ) and China ( 53 % estimated ) , and nearly half in Bangladesh , though for women the figure is much lower . </P>
