According to the 2021 National Adult Tobacco Survey in Cambodia, the number of smokers in the country has decreased by one-fifth between 2014 and 2021.
The results of Cambodia's 2021 national adult tobacco survey show a decrease in the overall prevalence of smoking from 16.6% in 2014 to 13.04% in 2021. The smoking rate among men also declined by 6.93%, from 32.3% in 2014 to 25.37% in 2021. The smoking rate among women also decreased from 2.4% in 2014 to 2.05% in 2021.
The attitude of Cambodians is also changing, with 95% of surveyed respondents supporting an increase in cigarette taxes and 95.75% supporting an increase in tobacco product prices.
According to data from Bangladeshi media company BLITZ, electronic cigarettes generated a total market value of $595 million (approximately 4.1 billion yuan) across six Southeast Asian markets in 2019. It is projected that this figure will increase to $766 million (approximately 5.3 billion yuan) by the end of 2023.
Cambodian authorities believe that electronic cigarettes and other forms of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) containing tobacco need to be regulated in the same way as other tobacco products. This requires stronger laws and policies to effectively ban all forms of advertising, promotion, and sponsorship.
