Major tobacco firms' attempts to encourage people to smoke have failed, and the global smoking population has decreased.
According to the World Health Organization, just one in five people worldwide smoke cigarettes nowadays; in Pakistan, the percentage of adults over the age of 15 who smoke is 16.9%.
The paper claims that 150 nations are successfully lowering tobacco consumption through legislation, levies, and other initiatives. Southeast Asia and Europe have the greatest rates of smoking, yet usage of tobacco is still rising in a few nations, such as Egypt, Jordan, and Indonesia.
The World Health Organization reported that in 2000, there were approximately 1.36 billion smokers worldwide who were at least 15 years old; by 2022, that number had dropped to 1.25 billion. By 2030, tobacco use will have further decreased to 1.2. There will be a billion humans left.
The study states that 10% of 13 to 15-year-olds worldwide use tobacco products on average. Over 8 million people die from tobacco use globally each year, including an estimated 1.3 million non-smokers.
The US Centers for Disease Control state that smoking is linked to a number of health issues, including diabetes, lung disease, heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
