Cohort-by-age analysis of the proportion of overall mortality that is attributed to smoking. Each birth cohort is on a single vertical line. For males, ages are shaded from yellow (age 50) to turquoise (age 85). For females, ages are shaded from beige (age 50) to fuchsia (age 85). The more recent a cohort, the smaller the number of age groups for which data are available (recent cohorts have not yet reached the higher ages). Results given for high-income Europe (13 countries), high-income North America (2 countries) and high-income Oceania (2 countries)
