The current cigarette smoking rate among men and women in the United States will decline from 19 percent in 2010 to 12.5 percent by 2025, according to a report by the World Health Organization.

The report charts current cigarette smoking (occasional and daily use) and daily cigarette smoking in WHO member countries and also examines smoking trends based on age.

The rate of daily cigarette smoking in the United States will drop from 15 percent in 2010 to 9.9 percent in six years, the WHO survey says.
