В Южной Африке текущая распространённость курения табака среди взрослых в возрасте 15 лет и старше составила 23,3% в 2024 году. Для сравнения, этот показатель был 20,2% в 2020 году и 20,7% в 2019 году. Согласно гендерной статистике за 2024 год, табак курили 39,3% мужчин и 8,5% женщин, что свидетельствует о значительных различиях между полами в привычках курения. Общее количество курящих на 2024 год оценивается в 10,9 миллиона человек. Показатель ежедневного курения среди взрослых в 2021 году составил 21,2%, включая 35,1% среди мужчин и 8,3% среди женщин. Что касается смертности, курение стало причиной 4,42% всех случаев смерти в 2021 году, при этом у мужчин эта доля составила 5,75%, а у женщин — 2,86%. В 2021 году зарегистрировано 32 442 случая смерти, связанных с курением, из них 22 817 мужчин и 9 625 женщин. Кроме того, число курящих в 2022 году составило примерно 8 617 084 человек, что представляет рост по сравнению с 8 323 703 курящими в 2020 году. Эти данные подчёркивают продолжающуюся проблему общественного здравоохранения, связанную с курением табака в Южной Африке, и указывают на необходимость целевых мер по снижению распространённости курения и связанной с ним смертности.
