Tobacco control in the Eastern Mediterranean region: implementation progress and persisting challenges
Published 2022“…Prevalence of tobacco smoking is markedly lower among women, ranging from 0.3% in Oman to 28.2% in Lebanon and 12.9% in Jordan (online supplemental table).1 Waterpipe tobacco smoking has spread rapidly in the region over the past three decades, especially among young people in the region.5 Although waterpipe smoking prevalence is higher among men in most EMR countries, the gender gap is smaller than that for cigarette smoking.5 Various factors have contributed to the rise in waterpipe smoking rates, including the introduction of flavoured tobacco, the perception of reduced harm and addiction relative to cigarette smoking, and inadequate policies and regulations addressing waterpipe smoking.6…”
