Tobacco Harms About 5.8 trillion (5,800,000,000,000) cigarettes were smoked worldwide in 2014, cigarette consumption is still on the rise. The significant reductions in smoking rates in the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, and other countries that implement increasingly tight tobacco control laws have been offset by the growing consumption in a single nation: China. The Chinese market now consumes more cigarettes than all other low- and middle-income countries combined. Other regions are increasingly playing larger roles in the growing global smoking epidemic. The WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMRO) now has the highest growth rate in the cigarette market, with more than a one-third increase in cigarette consumption since 2000. Due to its recent dynamic economic development and continued population growth, Africa presents the greatest risk in terms of future growth in tobacco use. Without appropriate prevention policies across the continent, Africa will lose hundreds of millions of lives in this century due to tobacco smoking.

Without appropriate prevention policies across the continent, Africa will lose hundreds of millions of lives in this century due to tobacco smoking. Patterns of cigarette consumption vary widely within countries. Cigarette consumption displays large disparities and is associated with lower socioeconomic status, even in low- and middle-income countries. These inequalities can be reduced by the use of targeted tobacco control measures. For example, revenue from cigarette tax increases could be directed to fund tobacco prevention and cessation programs for disadvantaged groups. Consumption of other combustible tobacco products is also on the rise. Since 2000, global consumption of cigarette-like cigarillos has more than doubled, while consumption of roll-your-own tobacco and pipe tobacco both increased by more than a third. This increase is partly because these other tobacco products are often taxed at lower rates than cigarettes and are, therefore, more affordable.
