Tobacco use remains a global health crisis, exacting a heavy toll on individuals, communities, and economies. Despite widespread awareness of its harmful effects, tobacco continues to be a leading cause of preventable death and disease.

However, a report by the WHO on tobacco use globally, titled “WHO Global Report on Trends in Prevalence of Tobacco Use 2000–2030,” its latest iteration of the report shows that 150 countries are successfully reducing tobacco use.

1. Egypt 18,183,000
