The data is provided in a form of a line graph, which compares the percentages of adults smokers who smoked either pre-packed cigarettes, rolled tobacco or pipe of cigar in Great Britain over a twenty-five year period between 1990 and 2015.
Overall, it can clearly be seen from the data that the proportion of the people who smoked pre-packed cigarettes declined steadily and continually over 25 years, whereas rolled tobacco smokers increased dramatically. By contrast, pipe of cigar smoking behavior remained fairly stable.
In more detail, in 1990, by far the most common smoking preference was to smoke pre-packed cigarettes, which accounted for just over two thirds of all adult smokers (68%). By contrast, much smaller proportion of the British smoking public opted for rolled tobacco at less than a fifth (18%), and even fever smoked either pipes or cigars at just over a tenth (14%). Nevertheless, by 2005, PPC smoking number fell continually to just over two-fifths (44%) which almost converged with RT smokers at 41%.
However, by 2010, RT smoking increased to almost a half (47%) and peaked at 48% by the end of the period (2015). In comparison, PPC smoking continued to fall and stood at just two-fifth by 2015. Finally, pipe and cigars smoking remained relatively stable at approximately a tenth by the end of the period (2015).
