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

Según la Estrategia Nacional de Control del Tabaco 2022-2030, hasta febrero de 2024 había aproximadamente 15.6 millones de fumadores en Pakistán, una cifra que representa una disminución respecto a los 17.5 millones de fumadores en 2022 y los 18.3 millones en 2020. La prevalencia de tabaquismo en adultos en 2023 se situó en 12.4%, un leve aumento frente al 12% registrado en 2022, pero una reducción en comparación con el 13.1% de 2020. Entre los hombres, la prevalencia del consumo de tabaco fue de 22.2% en 2023, por debajo del 22.7% en 2020, mientras que entre las mujeres fue de 2.1% en 2023, lo que representa una ligera disminución con respecto al 2.7% de 2022. Como referencia, en 2014 la prevalencia diaria de tabaquismo en adultos era del 11.5%, con un 20.1% en hombres y apenas un 2% en mujeres. En 2021, el consumo de tabaco provocó el 7.59% de todas las muertes en el país, lo que equivale a 130,593 fallecimientos relacionados con el tabaco, de los cuales 106,028 correspondieron a hombres y 24,565 a mujeres. A pesar de la reducción observada en los últimos años, estas cifras de prevalencia y mortalidad ponen de manifiesto el reto permanente que representa el tabaquismo para la salud pública en Pakistán, sirviendo como guía para las estrategias gubernamentales destinadas a disminuir su impacto en la salud.
