1WHO REPORT ON THE GLOBAL TOBACCO EPIDEMIC, 2013

The WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, 2013 provides essential data on the tobacco epidemic and selected tobacco control measures in 194 participating WHO Member States and 1 territory. Appendix VII provides detailed information about tobacco prevention policies and tobacco economics in the 28 countries that have the largest number of tobacco smokers in the world. Together, these countries represent over 85% of

Appendix Vii: Country profiles

the smokers in the world, as measured by their population and WHO-adjusted estimates of prevalence of current tobacco use among adults aged 15 years and older.

Most data were collected at the national/federal level only and, therefore, provide incomplete policy coverage for Member States where subnational governments play an active role in tobacco control.
