Australia's daily smoking rate fell to a record low of 5.6% in 2025, the lowest ever recorded, while daily e-cigarette use stabilized at 3.6 per 100,000 people aged 14 and over. The survey also showed a rise in illicit tobacco use among smokers, increasing to 34%, and an emergence of nicotine pouches, especially among young adults, prompting the government to restrict their access. Despite these challenges, overall nicotine product use continued to decline, reaching 15.2% of the population.
