Global Tobacco Epidemic: Country Profiles
2023
This web portal, offered by the World Health Organization (WHO), provides the country profiles accompanying the WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, 2023, which monitors progress for tobacco use and prevention policies. The country profiles contain data on tobacco prevalence, preventative measures, cessation, and tobacco economics, within the framework of the WHO MPOWER measures.
The 2023 report marks 15 years since the 'MPOWER' measures were introduced–six guidelines established by the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) to promote government action on tobacco control. The 'MPOWER' measures include monitoring tobacco use; protecting people from tobacco smoke; offering cessation help; warning about tobacco dangers; enforcing bans on advertising; and raising taxes. In 2022, more than 5.6 billion people– over 70% of the world's population– were covered by at least one tobacco control measure.
