Brazil Is Losing the Fight
Brazil is losing the battle against smoking due its negative stance on safer nicotine alternatives, according to a major new report from Smoke Free Sweeden. The leading international health experts have compared Brazil’s experience and New Zealand to reveal how different policy choices are producing sharply different outcomes. Just over a decade ago, New Zealand had a higher smoking rate than Brazil. Today, its rate is around half Brazil’s.
12.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 20.1 million current smokers in Brazil 15.70% of men are current smokers but only 8.50% of women.
