Niger's country profile from the WHO 2021 global tobacco epidemic report highlights key aspects of tobacco control efforts. The country, with a population of 24 million and low-income status, showed moderate compliance with some MPOWER measures but gaps in others. Adult tobacco use prevalence was indicated by surveys, with male cigarette smoking around 14-17% in 2012 and adolescent use lower. Health warnings on packages covered 70% of the front and rear surfaces, meeting certain standards. Direct advertising bans are largely enforced, with a compliance score of 10 for direct bans. Taxation is substantial, with taxes accounting for 31.8% of cigarette retail prices, making cigarettes less affordable. No national anti-tobacco media campaigns occurred between 2018 and 2020. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control was ratified, and basic cessation programs exist, but treatment coverage is limited. Overall, Niger demonstrates partial implementation of tobacco control measures, with affordability and youth-specific data noted as areas needing improvement.
