In many countries around the world, a larger proportion of children and adolescents smoke cigarettes than is the case in North America.

Step-by-step explanation:

In many countries around the world, a larger proportion of children and adolescents smoke cigarettes than is the case in North America.

For example, in Australia, the proportion of men and women who smoked in 1976 was 43% and 33% respectively, but in 2014-15, it was 16.9% and 12.1%.
