W Mikronezji śmiertelność związana z paleniem tytoniu stanowi poważne wyzwanie dla zdrowia publicznego. Z danych za 2021 rok wynika, że zgony związane z paleniem stanowiły 17,89% wszystkich zgonów w kraju, co odzwierciedla niewielki wzrost w porównaniu z 17,39% w 2016 roku. Roczna liczba zgonów spowodowanych paleniem wzrosła do 146, w tym 102 przypadki wśród mężczyzn i 44 wśród kobiet. Dla porównania, w 2016 roku łączna liczba zgonów wynosiła 132, w tym 91 mężczyzn i 41 kobiet. Odsetek zgonów związanych z paleniem wśród mężczyzn wyniósł w 2021 roku 22,42%, w porównaniu do 20,5% w 2016 roku, natomiast wśród kobiet było to odpowiednio 12,15% i 10,5%. Dane dotyczące codziennego palenia wśród dorosłych wskazują, że rozpowszechnienie palenia wynosiło 35,40%, przy czym wśród mężczyzn wynosiło 39,80%, a wśród kobiet 25,40%. Szacuje się ponadto, że w 2017 roku liczba osób palących codziennie wynosiła około 24 426. Liczby te podkreślają nieustanny wpływ palenia tytoniu na zdrowie publiczne w Mikronezji i wskazują na konieczność kontynuowania działań ograniczających negatywne skutki zdrowotne tego nałogu.
