Maybe the statitiscs are so high because of tourists, since tobacco in Spain is cheap compared to neighbouring countries some may hoard cigarrete packs.
For example, in Norway a box costs 10€ and 9€ in UK, while in Spain is 4€ or so.
A pack of cigarettes costs €5.3 in Spain. In Austria €5.5, in Denmark €6.1, in Portugal €4.8, in France €7.3. Just because it's a bit cheaper doesn't mean it's worth the trip. For example in Andorra a pack costs €2.9.
The ones I smoke cost about €1.50 a pack. I buy them buy the carton. They've recently gone up in price, so they were even less than that until recently. Generic/local cigs are about €1.20-2 per pack, name brands would be anywhere between €2.50-3.50 a pack. I am in Lanzarote.
I roll my own and the tobacco cost 4.90, 50 papers 1.30 and 100 filters 0.65. I don't roll them heavy so I get probably 45 of every tobacco "purse". So for 7 euros I get more than two packs.

Yeah rolling tobacco makes you smoke a lot more because it's much much cheaper.
In most other countries where smoking is prevalent it is usually the men who smoke more than women, the ratio often being 2:1. In Spain it is 1:1.
Difference isn't that big in the US; men are 27% more likely to be smokers, so much closer to 1:1 than 2:1. I'd guess in most western countries the gender difference isn't that big.

The regional variation is tremendous. It is prevalent in the tobacco growing states like Kentucky, North Carolina and the poor southern states like Alabama and Mississippi. But it is much less common in the North east and when I was in Denver, Colorado I saw just 2 people smokign the whole week. Most were engaged in physical sports.
From the link, the biggest difference is by education; those with only a high school diploma are almost three times more likely to smoke than someone who's college-educated. I wonder if Europe has a similar difference?
