Datos obtenidos: 2025.   Página actualizada: 2025-12-11

En Ghana, la prevalencia del consumo de tabaco entre adultos de 15 años o más fue del 4% en hombres y del 0,3% en mujeres en 2022, con una prevalencia general del 2,1%. En comparación, la prevalencia general de tabaquismo en adultos en 2020 fue del 2,4%, con un 4,4% entre los hombres y un 0,3% entre las mujeres. El número total de personas fumadoras de tabaco disminuyó de 453.184 en 2020 a 416.722 en 2022, lo que refleja una tendencia a la baja desde 2019, cuando la cifra era de 644.429. Como referencia, la prevalencia diaria del consumo de tabaco entre adultos en 2017 fue del 3,1%, con un 6,1% en hombres y un 0,2% en mujeres. Los datos sobre mortalidad atribuible al consumo de tabaco de 2021 indican que el 2,23% de todas las muertes se debieron al tabaquismo, con una mayor carga entre los hombres (3,35%) en comparación con las mujeres (0,88%). En 2021, el número anual de muertes atribuibles al consumo de tabaco fue de 5.574, con 4.571 fallecimientos masculinos y 1.003 femeninos. Estas cifras subrayan el desafío persistente que representa el consumo de tabaco para la salud pública en Ghana, especialmente entre los hombres, y ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de intervenciones específicas para reducir la prevalencia del consumo y la mortalidad asociada.

  1. These rates are modelled using all national survey data published since 1990 to estimate the underlying prevalence trends by sex, then applying age-standardization to allow comparison with other countries. They do not necessarily resemble country data from 2015

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).
