Caveats

Self-reported survey; some people under-report smoking.
Single-year survey estimate with a wide interval (3.4%–10.8%).
Lower means fewer adults smoke. No moral judgement — support to quit matters.

Missing or suppressed values are never shown as zero — every card above passed validation with a real numeric value.
