I think the UK is lower than this - it's pretty unusual to see people smoking. Far less common than on the continent.
Perhaps that's location dependent. I was just there and was taken aback by how many more people I saw smoking than where I live in the US. Still not as much as southern or eastern Europe, but more than the large US city nearest me.
It's low indeed, but still around 10% in 2024: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...
That's higher than I would've guessed! Interesting.
