How this measure is built
- Definition
- Age-standardized estimate of current tobacco use prevalence among persons aged 15 years and older, as published by the WHO (tobacco smoking estimates substituted where full tobacco use data is unavailable).
- Measure
- One slice of Tobacco use prevalence ( basis: age standardized, form: share ) . The percentage of a population (aged 15 and older) currently using any tobacco product on a daily or non-daily basis. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
