Tobacco Use Data

This section includes data on the prevalence of tobacco-related behaviours, morbidity and mortality related to tobacco-related behaviours, and exposure to second-hand smoke.

Waterpipe Use

Smoking tobacco using a waterpipe (also called a hookah or sheesha) is increasing in prevalence worldwide. The misconception that waterpipe smoking is safer than other forms of tobacco use may lead users to underestimate health risks. [6]

E-cigarette Use

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are battery-powered devices that vaporise the liquid contents of a cartridge. The user then inhales the vapour.
