W Lesotho odsetek palących tytoń wśród dorosłych wykazuje istotne wahania w ostatnich latach. W 2022 roku szacowano, że 19,3% dorosłych paliło papierosy, przy wyraźnej różnicy między płciami: 39,2% mężczyzn oraz 0,4% kobiet. Oznacza to nieznaczny wzrost w porównaniu z rokiem 2020, kiedy ogólna częstość palenia wynosiła 19,1%, z czego 38,6% stanowili mężczyźni, a 0,4% kobiety. Liczbę palaczy w wieku 15 lat i starszych w 2022 roku oszacowano na około 277 466 osób, podczas gdy w 2020 roku było to 269 025. Dla porównania, w 2017 roku częstość codziennego palenia wśród dorosłych wynosiła 20,6%, z czego 41,6% dotyczyło mężczyzn, a 30% kobiet. Śmiertelność związana z paleniem tytoniu stanowi także poważny problem zdrowia publicznego — w 2021 roku odnotowano 2 168 zgonów, co stanowiło 5,73% wszystkich zgonów. Wśród nich znalazło się 1 675 zgonów mężczyzn i 493 kobiet, co odpowiada specyficznym dla płci wskaźnikom śmiertelności na poziomie 8,35% dla mężczyzn oraz 2,77% dla kobiet. Powyższe dane podkreślają utrzymujące się wyzwanie, jakim jest palenie tytoniu w Lesotho, i wskazują na potrzebę wdrożenia ukierunkowanych działań zdrowia publicznego w celu ograniczenia jego negatywnego wpływu na zdrowie.
