W Afganistanie według szacunków dla 2022 roku było około 2 135 588 osób palących tytoń w wieku 15 lat i starszych. Odsetek dorosłych palaczy wynosił 9,2%, przy znaczącej różnicy między płciami: 16,6% wśród mężczyzn i 1,8% wśród kobiet. Oznacza to spadek w porównaniu do lat poprzednich, ponieważ w 2020 roku rozpowszechnienie palenia wśród mężczyzn wynosiło 17,7%, a wśród kobiet 2,1%. W 2019 roku odsetek dorosłych codziennych palaczy tytoniu wynosił 7,6%, przy czym 12,6% stanowili mężczyźni, a 2,2% kobiety. W 2021 roku ogólna liczba zgonów przypisywanych paleniu tytoniu wyniosła 9 151, z czego 6 555 dotyczyło mężczyzn, a 2 596 kobiet. Zgony spowodowane paleniem tytoniu stanowiły więc 3,36% wszystkich zgonów w kraju, przy czym wśród mężczyzn wskaźnik ten wynosił 4,27%, a wśród kobiet 2,18%. Dane te podkreślają, że palenie tytoniu nadal stanowi poważne wyzwanie dla zdrowia publicznego w Afganistanie i wskazują na konieczność kontynuowania oraz wzmacniania działań mających na celu ograniczenie zachorowań i zgonów związanych z paleniem.

Redukcja szkód związanych z tytoniem: palący problem Azji
Harry Shapiro
Tematem tego opracowania GSTHR jest Azja. Sześćdziesiąt procent palaczy na świecie mieszka w tym regionie i dochodzi tu do niemal połowy zgonów na świecie spowodowanych paleniem. Azja jest również domem dla dziewięciu na dziesięciu użytkowników tytoniu bezdymnego (SLT), co prowadzi do wysokiej zachorowalności na raka jamy ustnej. W wielu krajach zdrowie publiczne jest poważnie zagrożone, ponieważ rządy kontrolują krajowe firmy tytoniowe lub mają w nich znaczące udziały. Potrzebne są nowe rozwiązania, aby przeciwdziałać zagrożeniu dla zdrowia publicznego wynikającemu z palenia i używania tytoniu - jednak bezpieczniejsze produkty nikotynowe są zakazane w wielu krajach. Czy redukcja szkód związanych z tytoniem poprawiłaby zdrowie publiczne w Azji? A jeśli tak - jakie przeszkody stoją jej na drodze?
Oficjalne wydarzenie inaugurujące opracowanie odbyło się online w niedzielę 18 kwietnia 2021 r. i zostało współorganizowane z Association of Vapers India.
