Notes:<br />

1. Age standardised to <strong>the</strong> WHO world population.<br />

2. Respondents were able to select multiple types <strong>of</strong> tobacco products, and so <strong>the</strong> estimates reported in this figure<br />

do not represent exclusive use <strong>of</strong> manufactured cigarettes.<br />
