WHO tobacco trends report: 1 in 5 adults still addicted to tobacco

世界卫生组织烟草趋势报告：五分之一的成年人仍对烟草上瘾

The world is smoking less, but the tobacco epidemic is far from over. A new WHO global report shows the number of tobacco users has dropped from 1.38 billion in 2000 to 1.2 billion in 2024. Since 2010, the number of people using tobacco has dropped by 120 million – a 27% drop in relative terms. Yet, tobacco still hooks one in five adults worldwide, fuelling millions of preventable deaths every year.

世界上吸烟的人越来越少，但烟草流行还远未结束。世界卫生组织的一份最新全球报告显示，烟草使用者人数已从2000年的13.8亿下降到2024年的12亿。自2010年以来，使用烟草的人数减少了1.2亿——相对而言下降了27%。然而，烟草仍然困扰着全球五分之一的成年人，每年造成数百万可预防的死亡。

“Millions of people are stopping, or not taking up, tobacco use thanks to tobacco control efforts by countries around the world,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “In response to this strong progress, the tobacco industry is fighting back with new nicotine products, aggressively targeting young people. Governments must act faster and stronger in implementing proven tobacco control policies.”

世卫组织总干事谭德赛博士说：“由于世界各国的烟草控制努力，数百万人正在停止或不使用烟草。”“面对这一强劲进展，烟草行业正通过新的尼古丁产品进行反击，并积极针对年轻人。各国政府必须更快、更有力地实施经过验证的控烟政策。”

For the first time, WHO has estimated global e-cigarette use – and the numbers are alarming: more than 100 million people worldwide are now vaping. This includes:

世界卫生组织首次估计了全球电子烟的使用情况——数字令人震惊：全球现在有超过1亿人使用电子烟。包括：

Adults: at least 86 million users, mostly in high-income countries.

成年人：至少有8600万用户，主要集中在高收入国家。

Adolescents: at least 15 million children (13–15 years) already using e-cigarettes. In countries with data, children are on average nine times more likely than adults to vape.

青少年：至少有 1,500 万儿童（13–15 岁）已经在使用电子烟。在有数据的国家中，儿童使用电子烟的可能性平均比成年人高九倍。

The tobacco industry is introducing an incessant chain of new products and technologies for its aim to market tobacco addiction with not just cigarettes but also e-cigarettes, nicotine pouches, heated tobacco products among others, which all harm people’s health, and more worryingly the health of new generations, youth and adolescents.

烟草行业不断推出一系列新的产品和技术，旨在通过不仅仅是香烟，还包括电子烟、尼古丁口袋、加热烟草产品等手段来推广烟草成瘾，这些都危害人们的健康，更令人担忧的是，它们影响着新一代、青少年和未成年人的健康。

“E-cigarettes are fuelling a new wave of nicotine addiction,” said Etienne Krug, WHO Director of Health Determinants, Promotion and Prevention Department. “They are marketed as harm reduction but, in reality, are hooking kids on nicotine earlier and risk undermining decades of progress.”

“电子烟正在助长新一波尼古丁成瘾，”世卫组织促进和预防部健康决定因素主任艾蒂安·克鲁格说。“它们被宣传为减少危害的产品，但实际上却让孩子更早接触尼古丁，并可能破坏数十年来取得的进展。”

While there has been a steady decline in tobacco use for both men and women across all age-groups during 2000–2024, women have been leading the charge to quit tobacco. They hit the global reduction target for 2025 five years early, reaching the 30% milestone back in 2020. Prevalence of tobacco use among women dropped from 11% in 2010 to just 6.6% in 2024, with the number of female tobacco users falling from 277 million in 2010 to 206 million in 2024.

虽然在2000年至2024年期间，各年龄段的男女烟草使用率均持续下降，但女性在戒烟方面一直走在前列。她们比全球2025年的减排目标提前五年，于2020年就达到了30%的里程碑。女性烟草使用率从2010年的11%下降到2024年的仅6.6%，女性烟草使用者数量从2010年的2.77亿下降到2024年的2.06亿。

By contrast, men are not expected to reach the goal until 2031. Today, more than four out of five tobacco users worldwide are men, with just under 1 billion men still using tobacco. While prevalence among men has fallen from 41.4% in 2010 to 32.5% in 2024, the pace of change is too slow.

相比之下，男性预计要到2031年才能达到目标。如今，全球超过五分之四的烟草使用者是男性，仍有不到10亿男性在使用烟草。虽然男性的使用率从2010年的41.4%下降到2024年的32.5%，但变化的速度仍然过慢。

South-East Asia: Once the world’s hotspot, prevalence among men nearly halved – from 70% in 2000 to 37% in 2024. The Region alone accounts for over half of the global decline.

东南亚：曾经是全球热点地区，男性的患病率几乎减半——从2000年的70%降至2024年的37%。该地区单独就占全球下降的一半以上。

Africa: Prevalence is the lowest of all regions at 9.5% in 2024, and the Region is on track to meet the 30% target. However, because of population growth, the absolute number of tobacco users continues to rise.

非洲：2024年，非洲的患病率为9.5%，是所有地区中最低的，并且该地区有望实现30%的目标。然而，由于人口增长，烟草使用者的绝对数量仍在继续增加。

Americas: The Region has achieved a 36% relative reduction, with prevalence dropping to 14% in 2024, though some countries still lack sufficient data.

美洲：该地区实现了36%的相对减少，2024年患病率降至14%，尽管一些国家仍缺乏足够的数据。

Europe: This is now the highest-prevalence Region globally, with 24.1% of adults using tobacco in 2024, with women in Europe having the highest global prevalence at 17.4%.

欧洲：目前这是全球吸烟率最高的地区，2024年有24.1%的成年人使用烟草，其中欧洲女性的吸烟率为17.4%，为全球最高。

Eastern Mediterranean: Prevalence is 18%, with tobacco use continuing to rise in some countries.

东地中海地区：患病率为18%，一些国家的烟草使用仍在上升。

Western Pacific: With 22.9% of adults using tobacco in 2024, down from 25.8% in 2010, the progress in this Region is the slowest. While women have low prevalence at 2.5%, men have the highest prevalence of all regions at 43.3%.

西太平洋地区：2024年有22.9%的成年人使用烟草，低于2010年的25.8%，该地区的进展最慢。尽管女性吸烟率仅为2.5%，男性的吸烟率在所有地区中最高，达到43.3%。

WHO is urging governments everywhere to step up tobacco control. This means fully implementing and enforcing the MPOWER package and the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, closing loopholes that allow the tobacco and nicotine industries to target children, and regulating new nicotine products like e-cigarettes. It also means raising tobacco taxes, banning advertising, and expanding cessation services so that millions more people can quit.

世界卫生组织正在敦促各国政府加强烟草控制。这意味着全面实施和执行MPOWER方案以及《WHO烟草控制框架公约》，堵塞让烟草和尼古丁行业针对儿童的漏洞，并规范电子烟等新型尼古丁产品。这还意味着提高烟草税、禁止广告，并扩大戒烟服务，使数百万人能够戒烟。

“Nearly 20% of adults people still use tobacco and nicotine products. We cannot let up now,” said Jeremy Farrar, WHO Assistant Director-General for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention and Care. “The world has made gains, but stronger, faster action is the only way to beat the tobacco epidemic.”

“仍有近20%的成年人使用烟草和尼古丁产品。我们现在不能松懈，”世卫组织健康促进与疾病预防及护理助理总干事杰里米·法拉尔说。“世界已经取得了一些进展，但更强、更快速的行动是战胜烟草流行的唯一途径。”

Findings of the new report titled, “WHO global report on trends in prevalence of tobacco use 2000–2024 and projections 2025–2030” are based on 2034 national surveys, covering 97% of the global population. The data underpin global reporting on SDG Target 3.a and the WHO NCD Global Action Plan, which aimed for a 30% relative reduction in tobacco use by 2025. Current progress: 27% reduction, falling short by 50 million users.

题为《世界卫生组织关于2000–2024年烟草使用流行趋势及2025–2030年预测的全球报告》的新报告结果基于2034项国家调查，覆盖了全球97%的人口。这些数据支撑了可持续发展目标（SDG）3.a目标和世界卫生组织非传染性疾病全球行动计划的全球报告，该计划旨在到2025年实现烟草使用的相对减少30%。当前进展：减少了27%，比目标少5000万使用者。
