En la República Democrática del Congo, la prevalencia del consumo de tabaco entre adultos de 15 años o más fue del 8,3% según datos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) en 2022, lo que representa un ligero descenso respecto al 8,6% registrado en 2020. La prevalencia fue considerablemente mayor en los hombres, con un 16,4%, frente al 0,6% en las mujeres en 2022. Asimismo, se estimó que el número de fumadores de 15 años o más alcanzó aproximadamente los 4,1 millones en 2022, en comparación con cerca de 3,9 millones en 2020. Como referencia, la prevalencia diaria de consumo de tabaco entre adultos en 2017 fue del 26,5% en hombres y del 4,1% en mujeres. En cuanto a mortalidad, el número anual de muertes atribuibles al consumo de tabaco en 2021 fue de 15.232, de las cuales los hombres representaron la mayor proporción (12.180), frente a 3.052 en mujeres. La mortalidad relacionada con el tabaco representó el 2,18% del total de muertes en el país, una disminución respecto al 4,19% registrado en 2016. Estas cifras evidencian el desafío continuo para la salud pública que representa el consumo de tabaco en la República Democrática del Congo, especialmente entre los hombres, y ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de mantener el seguimiento y las intervenciones para reducir los impactos negativos asociados al consumo de tabaco.
