En Santo Tomé y Príncipe, las estimaciones de 2022 de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) indican que la prevalencia de tabaquismo en adultos mayores de 15 años fue del 9,5% entre los hombres y del 0,8% entre las mujeres. La prevalencia general de tabaquismo en adultos fue del 5,1%. En comparación, en 2020 la prevalencia en adultos fue del 8,4% entre los hombres y del 0,7% entre las mujeres, con una prevalencia total del 4,5%. El número total de personas fumadoras se estimó en 6.586 en 2022 y en 5.500 en 2020. La prevalencia de consumo diario de tabaco en adultos en 2019 se estimó en el 2,2%, con un 5,5% en hombres y un 0,6% en mujeres. En 2021, los datos de mortalidad atribuible al tabaquismo muestran que se produjeron 32 muertes por esta causa, de las cuales 27 correspondieron a hombres y 5 a mujeres. Las muertes relacionadas con el tabaquismo representaron el 2,83% del total de fallecimientos, con un 4,42% de las muertes de hombres y un 0,96% de las muertes de mujeres. Estas cifras ponen de relieve el desafío permanente que representa el consumo de tabaco para la salud pública en Santo Tomé y Príncipe, lo que exige intervenciones regulatorias y de salud pública específicas para reducir las tasas de consumo y la mortalidad asociada.

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).
