La diminuzione della percentuale di fumatori si riferisce alla fascia di età 18-24 anni:
diminuzione del 46% ( quasi la metà) -- dal 21.6% nel 2011 a 11.7% nel 2016.
La proporzione tra 21,6% e 11,7% è infatti il 46% (quasi la metà).

Io l'ho inteso in questo modo: passare da quasi il 22% a circa il 12% equivale quasi alla metà, ovvero quasi il 50% in meno :) Come a dire, se fosse passato dal 24 al 12 sarebbe diminuito del 50%, ma passando da 21.6 a 11.7 corrisponde al 46% :)
