Smoking Rates in Russia Drop to 18.7% in Past 5 Years
According to the Russian news agency, the smoking rate in Russia has decreased from 24.2% to 18.7% in the past five years.

According to a report by the Russian news agency, data from the Central Medical Organization and the Institute of Information Research of the Russian Ministry of Health reveals that the proportion of smokers in Russia has decreased from 24.2% to 18.7% over the past five years.

 

With the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, the proportion of smokers in Russia has been declining in recent years. According to data from 2022, 19.2% of adults in the country have a smoking habit. The public's understanding of smoking is gradually becoming clear, and measures are being taken to change unhealthy habits. This undoubtedly demonstrates the effectiveness of in-depth collaboration between various levels of government and public institutions in health promotion.

 

A study conducted by the Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) revealed that the smoking rate among adults over 18 is projected to remain at 30% by 2023. The healthcare sector and communities still face significant challenges in reducing smoking and other unhealthy habits.

 

During an interview, lung specialist Alexandra Kochurova revealed that in the past two years, 10-15% of individuals who have been using e-cigarettes, vaporizers, and tobacco heating systems have reported experiencing health issues and have sought medical advice.

 

This phenomenon has attracted significant attention from experts, who have issued a warning that the use of these modern alternatives does not effectively eliminate the health risks associated with smoking.
