No More Smokers in 50 Years?

Citigroup gave out an amazing bit of information telling that the habit of smoking has only about 50 more years to live on the developed area of the globe. The percentage of smoking people in the developed nations showing a constant decline in an almost straight line, Citigroup said, it’s quite possible that by 2050 the tobacco industry will have gone to seed and the statistics will show zero smoking. Going by the dropping graphs a date for each country to hit the zero mark can be predicted (should the trend continue).

Here are some roughly estimated dates telling when smoking may die out completely in 18 countries in different parts of the globe.
