- Abstract
Objective. To estimate the smoking and e-cigarette usage prevalence in Mexican adolescent and adult population in 2022. Materials and methods. We used the Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición 2022 to estimate the prevalence of smoking and e-cigarette use, considering sociodemographic variables. Results. The smoking and former smoking prevalence in the adolescent population were 4.6 and 3.7%, while in adults were 19.5 and 17.8%, respectively. Smoking was higher in urban and metropolitan areas, compared to rural ones. Differences by educational level and region of residence were found. The prevalence of e-cigarette usage was 2.6% among adolescents and 1.5% among adults. Conclusion. Smoking remains a serious public health problem in Mexico. Accelerating full implementation of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control is a priority.
