W Sao Tomé i Príncipe, według szacunków Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia (WHO) z 2022 roku, odsetek dorosłych palących papierosy wśród mężczyzn w wieku 15 lat i starszych wynosił 9,5%, podczas gdy wśród kobiet był znacznie niższy i wynosił 0,8%. Ogólna częstość palenia wśród dorosłych wynosiła 5,1%. Dla porównania, w 2020 roku odsetek dorosłych palaczy wynosił 8,4% wśród mężczyzn i 0,7% wśród kobiet, a łączny wskaźnik wynosił 4,5%. Całkowitą liczbę palaczy w 2022 roku oszacowano na 6 586, natomiast w 2020 roku – na 5 500. Szacowana częstość codziennego palenia tytoniu wśród dorosłych w 2019 roku wynosiła 2,2%, przy wskaźniku 5,5% wśród mężczyzn i 0,6% wśród kobiet. W 2021 roku z powodu palenia zmarły 32 osoby, z czego 27 stanowili mężczyźni, a 5 kobiety. Zgony związane z paleniem stanowiły 2,83% wszystkich zgonów: 4,42% ogółu zgonów wśród mężczyzn oraz 0,96% wśród kobiet. Te dane podkreślają skalę wyzwania zdrowotnego związanego z używaniem tytoniu w Sao Tomé i Príncipe, co wymaga zdecydowanych działań regulacyjnych oraz interwencji zdrowia publicznego, aby ograniczyć rozpowszechnienie palenia i związane z nim zgony.

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).
