Incredible milestone but when 1 in 20 is still smoking I feel like it's a bit early to call yourself smoke free.

Yeah... I live here, and I would definitely not call us smoke free. But it's gotten better.

If 1 in 20 is smoke free, I’m declaring the 1 in 10 rate in the us as ALMOST smoke free.
As a child in the 1970s I visited family there and my memory is that it seemed like every adult and older teen smoked. Often filterless. So it's quite a change in a few decades.
