Prevalence of current tobacco use, males (% of male adults)

This indicator reflects the proportion of males aged 15 and older engaged in the use of various tobacco products, either on a daily or occasional basis. It encompasses a diverse range of items, including traditional cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and innovative options like heated tobacco products and smokeless alternatives such as chewable tobacco. By excluding e-cigarettes and similar devices, the measure provides a focused insight into conventional tobacco consumption patterns among men. Moreover, the data is adjusted to the WHO Standard Population, ensuring comparability across different demographic groups and countries, which aids policymakers and health organizations in understanding and addressing tobacco use trends effectively.
