From: Smoking among Hong Kong Chinese women: behavior, attitudes and experience
Prevalence of daily cigarette smokers by sex and a progressive approach to raising tobacco tax in Hong Kong from 1982 to 2014. Remarks: 1982-1998: General Household Survey conducted by government Census & Statistics Department 2000 onwards: Thematic Household Survey (THS) conducted by contractors (commercial survey companies). The 2000 data, from the first THS appeared to be incredible, as there were no reasons to explain the great declines in men and total. The dotted lines should be more reliable.
