Using the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) DataLab, we examined weighted estimates of the absolute number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples aged 18\u2005years and over, drawing on the 2012\u201313 and 2018-19 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Surveys. We compared the absolute number of people who currently smoke, stratified by age, state\/territory, and sex. There was a 2.5 percentage point decline in smoking prevalence over this period, but the estimated number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults who smoke increased by \u223c43 000, reaching 211 000 (95% confidence interval: 199 746\u2013221 616) in 2018. This growth is largely attributable to population increases driven by higher birth rates. Absolute increases in both the number of people who smoked and those who did not smoke varied by age group, jurisdiction, and geography, with the largest increases observed among those aged 55\u201364\u2005years and in areas experiencing the most rapid population growth. These findings highlight the need for programs, policies, and health services\u2014including tobacco and nicotine resistance measures\u2014to be adequately resourced and responsive to changing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population dynamics. While progress is being made in reducing smoking prevalence, the expanding population means that the total number of people impacted by commerical tobacco remains high. This highlights the need for sustained future-focused planning and investment to eradicate tobacco-related death and disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daaf158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,21]],"date-time":"2025-09-21T11:39:16Z","timestamp":1758454756000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tobacco
