Not true for the UK at least. The percentage of people smoking hasn't changed since 2007 (21%).
5% of all hospital admissions are attributed to smoking.
13% of cancer cases are smoking related.
18% of deaths (35 years+) are smoking related.
29% of cancer deaths are attributable to smoking.
Figures from the latest research by ONS.
