What are the percentages of smokers by gender?

Question

I need the percentages out of smokers alone, not out of the total number of people. In other words, the 2 percents need to equal 100.

Thanks! List your sources please.

Tobacco use is one of the chief preventable causes of death in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) attributes 4.9 million deaths a year to tobacco, a figure expected to rise to more than 10 million deaths a year by 2030.1, Pronounced gender differences in tobacco use are seen throughout the world: WHO estimates 47% of men and 12% of women smoke, including 42% of men and 24% of women in developed countries, and 48% of men and 7% of women in developing countries.2 Global data on gender differences in rates of all forms of tobacco use are limited.
