In Honduras, as of 2022, the adult smoking prevalence was 12.2%, with a notable gender disparity: 22.7% of males and 1.7% of females were smokers. This translates to approximately 852,612 adult smokers. For reference, the adult daily smoking prevalence in 2015 was 10.3%, with 19.6% among males and 1.2% among females.
In terms of health impact, smoking accounted for 5.68% of all deaths in the country in 2021, with a higher mortality rate among males (7.72%) compared to females (3.21%). This represents that 4,139 deaths were attributed to smoking in 2021, with 3,077 male and 1,062 female deaths. The data indicates a slight improvement from 2016 when smoking-related deaths accounted for 6.55% of all deaths in the country. This ongoing health concern suggests a need for continued public health efforts and regulatory measures to address smoking and its health impacts in Honduras.
