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

En Tanzania, la prevalencia del consumo de tabaco entre adultos de 15 años o más en 2022 se estimó en un 5.9%, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Este dato representa una disminución respecto a años anteriores, con un 6.7% en 2020 y un 11% en 2019. Las tasas de prevalencia por género para 2022 indican que el 10.9% de los hombres y el 1.1% de las mujeres eran fumadores, cifras ligeramente inferiores al 12.4% de los hombres y al 1.2% de las mujeres en 2020, y al 19.9% de los hombres y al 2% de las mujeres en 2019. La prevalencia de personas adultas que fumaban a diario en 2018 fue del 5.2%, siendo del 9.9% entre los hombres y del 0.9% entre las mujeres. En términos absolutos, se estimó que había aproximadamente 2,041,494 fumadores en 2022, lo que refleja un descenso respecto a los 2,166,098 de 2020 y los 3,435,679 de 2019. La mortalidad atribuible al consumo de tabaco sigue siendo motivo de preocupación, con 13,534 muertes registradas en 2021, de las cuales 10,326 correspondieron a hombres y 3,209 a mujeres. Las muertes asociadas al tabaquismo representaron el 3.07% del total de fallecimientos en el país, incluyendo el 4.29% de las muertes masculinas y el 1.61% de las muertes femeninas. Estas cifras ponen de manifiesto el impacto persistente del consumo de tabaco en la salud de la población en Tanzania, a pesar de la tendencia a la baja observada en los últimos años.

Tobacco harm reduction in Sub-Saharan Africa

With the number of tobacco users across the continent set to rise by 2025, we look at the current state of tobacco harm reduction in the region, assessing the progress made so far and the obstacles preventing greater adoption of safer nicotine products.

The GSTHR database is updated regularly by our team. However, please be aware that the information we provide does not constitute legal advice. We cannot guarantee that the information is up to date or accurate, as the regulatory status of different product categories can change at short notice and with little publicity. If you wish to check the legal status of use or possession of any safer nicotine product in a specific country or region, you should verify the information independently. If you have reason to think that the information supplied on the GSTHR is inaccurate, please contact us with details and any references and we will rectify any errors.
