The Global Tobacco Surveillance System (GTSS) African Region Atlas, 2018
The Global Tobacco Surveillance System (GTSS) African Region Atlas presents estimates of tobacco use and key tobacco control measures in a visual format from countries within the WHO African Region who have completed the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS), the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), or both.
The Atlas describes the range of tobacco product use across various countries in the WHO African Region and provides estimates on tobacco use; second-hand smoke exposure; cessation; warnings about the dangers of tobacco; bans on advertising, promotion and sponsorship; and tobacco taxes. Progress and opportunities for further tobacco prevention and control efforts in these countries are also highlighted. This Atlas makes data visualization both simpler and friendlier, as well as ultimately actionable.
This Atlas can serve as a resource for decision makers, public health professionals, the media, researchers, and the general public to inform tobacco prevention and control efforts to end the tobacco epidemic.
