Datos obtenidos: 2024.   Página actualizada: 2026-08-07

En Ruanda, la prevalencia del consumo de tabaco entre adultos de 15 años o más en 2022 se estimó en 8,6%, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). En comparación, esta prevalencia fue de 9,9% en 2020. Desglosado por sexo, en 2022 el 14,4% de los hombres y el 3,1% de las mujeres eran fumadores. En 2020, la prevalencia fue del 15,4% entre hombres y del 4,7% entre mujeres. Esto indica que el número total de fumadores en 2022 se estimó en 688.622, lo que representa una disminución respecto a los 747.687 registrados en 2020. La prevalencia de fumadores diarios entre adultos en 2021 fue de 5,7%, con un 8,2% en hombres y un 3,1% en mujeres. En cuanto al impacto en la salud, la mortalidad atribuible al consumo de tabaco en 2021 representó el 5,16% de todas las muertes en el país, con un 6,11% entre hombres y un 4,1% entre mujeres. El número anual de muertes atribuibles al tabaquismo fue de 4.758, de las cuales 2.967 correspondieron a hombres y 1.791 a mujeres. Estos datos reflejan el desafío constante para la salud pública que representa el consumo de tabaco en Ruanda, a pesar de ciertos avances en la reducción de las tasas de prevalencia en los últimos años.

African Region - Increasing Daily Tobacco Prevalence Trends (Male and Female)

African Region - Increasing Daily Tobacco Prevalence Trends (Male and Female)

- No Fire, No Smoke: The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction

This figure, using WHO data, shows the steep gradient of increases in smoking prevalence estimates in specific African countries, where the projected increases (both sexes) in daily smoking are 5 percent and higher.

In countries that have experienced steep falls in smoking prevalence over the years, the graphs have begun to level off, for example in Australia, suggesting there remains a substantial number of people who, for whatever reason, are determined to carry on smoking. The WHO trend data to 2025 predicts only very modest falls in smoking levels in several countries and predicts some rapid increases, mainly in Africa, the Middle East, some parts of Eastern Europe and republics of the former Soviet Union. Some of the more extreme examples include Cameroon (from 14 percent to 43 percent); Republic of Congo (from 14 percent to 48 percent) and Bahrain (from 25 percent to 60 percent).
