WHO released the second edition of their Global Report on Trends in Prevalence of Tobacco Smoking, which looks at global data and projections from 2000 to 2025. The first edition of the report, published in 2015, revealed that the pace of action would fall far short of achieving the global reduction target agreed under the Non-communicable Diseases Global Action Plan 2013–2020. Instead of being on track to achieving a 30% relative reduction in tobacco use among persons aged 15 years and older by 2025, the data showed that only a 14% reduction in prevalence rates would result from efforts made to date. This report shows that there has been more progress and that at the global level countries are on track to achieve a 22% reduction by 2025.
