W Kuwejcie palenie tytoniu nadal stanowi poważne wyzwanie dla zdrowia publicznego. Według danych z 2022 roku, odsetek dorosłych palących tytoń w wieku 15 lat i więcej wynosił 22,7%, przy znaczącej różnicy między płciami: paliło 35,6% mężczyzn i 2,1% kobiet. Oznacza to niewielki wzrost w porównaniu z 2020 rokiem, kiedy odsetek palących mężczyzn wynosił 33,9%, a kobiet 2,3%. Całkowita liczba osób palących w 2022 roku wynosiła 775 144, podczas gdy w 2020 roku było ich 736 502, co wskazuje na rosnący trend. Wśród dorosłych codziennych palaczy w 2022 roku odsetek wynosił 37,3%, w tym 58,9% mężczyzn i 15,1% kobiet. Śmiertelność związana z paleniem nadal budzi obawy – w 2021 roku 12,83% wszystkich zgonów przypisywano paleniu tytoniu, w tym 16,11% zgonów wśród mężczyzn i 4,25% wśród kobiet. Tytoń odpowiadał również za 1 549 zgonów w 2021 roku, w porównaniu do wcześniejszych szacunków. Dane te podkreślają nieustający wpływ używania tytoniu na zdrowie publiczne w Kuwejcie i wskazują na konieczność dalszych działań regulacyjnych i profilaktycznych, aby ograniczyć wzrastającą liczbę palaczy oraz związane z tym konsekwencje zdrowotne.

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.
