Norway Background
Данные получены: 2025.   страница обновлена: 2026-03-20

In Norway, smoking is legal but required to follow tobacco control regulations. Cigarettes are regulated as tobacco products which may be sold through retail outlets, vending machines, and online platforms. The importation of cigarettes for trade is allowed with a trade license. However, health warnings on packaging are obligatory, the legal minimum age for purchase is 18 years, and smoking in public places is subject to legal restrictions. A complete ban on all forms of tobacco advertising is also in place. Cigarettes in Norway are taxed at a total rate of 59.60%, including an excise rate of 59.6%.

Despite these control measures, smoking continues to present a significant public health burden in Norway. In 2024, the number of current smokers was approximately 589,000, corresponding to an overall adult current smoking prevalence of 12.7%. This was higher among males (14%) than among females (11.4%). The adult current smoking prevalence was 14% in 2022. The adult daily smoking prevalence in 2022 was reported to be 8%, representing approximately 360,698 daily smokers. In 2021, smoking resulted in approximately 3,724 deaths in Norway, including 2,303 deaths among males and 1,421 among females. This means that, tobacco smoking accounted for 8.88% of all deaths in the country in 2021, including 11.22% of all male deaths and 6.64% of all female deaths. These statistics underscore the continuing health impact of cigarette smoking in Norway.
