[InfoWire] Data from Statista, a data-gathering platform, projects that the prevalence of tobacco smoking among adults living on the African continent will decline from 14.5% in 2000 to 7.4% in 2025. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that, due to a rapidly growing youthful population in Sub-Saharan Africa, increasing incomes, and the expanding presence of the tobacco industry, the number of young tobacco users will rise significantly.
