W Gambii statystyki dotyczące palenia tytoniu z 2022 roku dostarczają istotnych informacji na temat rozpowszechnienia tego nałogu i jego konsekwencji zdrowotnych. U dorosłych mężczyzn odsetek palących tytoń wynosił 18,1%, podczas gdy wśród kobiet był znacząco niższy i wynosił 0,4%. Ogólna częstość palenia wśród dorosłych wyniosła 9,1%, co świadczy o niewielkim spadku w porównaniu z poprzednimi latami – 13,1% w 2019 roku oraz 9,7% w 2020 roku. Liczba osób palących w wieku 15 lat i starszych w Gambii wyniosła w 2022 roku około 125 948, co stanowi niewielki spadek w porównaniu do 126 112 w 2020 roku i znaczniejszy w zestawieniu z 166 465 w 2019 roku. Odsetek dorosłych palących papierosy codziennie wyniósł 12,7%, przy czym wśród mężczyzn było to 25,5%, a wśród kobiet 0,5%. Dane dotyczące śmiertelności związanej z paleniem z 2021 roku pokazują, że odnotowano 576 zgonów przypisywanych paleniu – mężczyźni stanowili 457 z tych przypadków, co odpowiada 4,67% wszystkich zgonów mężczyzn. Natomiast wśród kobiet odnotowano 119 zgonów związanych z paleniem, co stanowiło 1,52% wszystkich zgonów kobiet w kraju. Te dane podkreślają, że palenie tytoniu nadal stanowi istotny problem zdrowia publicznego w Gambii, choć widoczny jest spadek poziomu rozpowszechnienia nałogu oraz liczby osób palących.

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).
