    The higher the socioeconomic status of residents, the lower the smoking rate.

    In Victoria, the Victorian Population Health Survey shows smoking rates by local government area. The 2016 survey is in the pipeline.

    There are some other surveys too. From the ABS and AIHW. Victoria isn't the highest in terms of prevalence.
