Between 2006 and 2024, the number of smokers in Italy decreased considerably. The magnitude of this contraction was bigger for males than for females. Male smokers, in fact, were always the majority in the country, but their number decreased from seven million in 2006 to roughly 5.9 million in 2024. Conversely, the number of females who smoked went down from almost 4.5 million in 2006 to almost 4.4 million in 2024. This statistic shows the number of smokers in Italy from 2006 to 2024, by gender (in 1,000s).
