En Kirguistán, la prevalencia del consumo de tabaco entre adultos de 15 años o más en 2022 se estimó en 25,8%, con una marcada diferencia entre géneros. La prevalencia entre los hombres fue de 50,1%, mientras que entre las mujeres fue de 3,2%. El número total de personas fumadoras en el país se calculó en aproximadamente 1.141.934. Estas cifras representan una ligera disminución con respecto a años anteriores, ya que la prevalencia fue de 26,1% en 2020 y de 26,6% en 2019. Como referencia, en 2017 la prevalencia diaria de tabaquismo entre adultos fue de 20,6%, siendo de 39,5% en hombres y de 2,7% en mujeres. En cuanto a las defunciones, en 2021 el consumo de tabaco fue responsable del 13,68% del total de muertes en el país, lo que representó el 5,76% de los fallecimientos en mujeres y el 19,84% en hombres. En ese mismo año, el número total de defunciones atribuibles al tabaco ascendió a 5.322, de las cuales 4.342 correspondieron a hombres y 980 a mujeres. Estas estadísticas ponen de manifiesto los retos que el tabaquismo supone para la salud pública en Kirguistán y resaltan la necesidad de mantener los esfuerzos para reducir su impacto y prevalencia.

Reducción de daños del tabaco: un problema candente para Asia
Harry Shapiro
El enfoque de este informe de GSTHR es Asia. El sesenta por ciento de los fumadores del mundo vive en esta región y aquí se produce casi la mitad de las muertes mundiales por fumar. Asia también alberga a nueve de cada diez consumidores de tabaco sin combustión (SLT), lo que provoca altas tasas de cáncer oral. En varios países, la salud pública se ve gravemente socavada cuando los gobiernos controlan o tienen una participación significativa en empresas tabacaleras nacionales. Se necesitan nuevas soluciones para abordar la amenaza para la salud pública que suponen fumar y el consumo de tabaco, pero los productos de nicotina más seguros están prohibidos en muchos países. ¿Mejoraría la reducción de daños del tabaco la salud pública en Asia? Y, de ser así, ¿cuáles son los obstáculos que se interponen en su camino?
El evento formal de lanzamiento del informe tuvo lugar en línea el domingo 18 de abril de 2021 y fue copatrocinado con Association of Vapers India.
