Metric Briefing World Map

Nauru leads all 164 countries in Smoking Prevalence with a value of 48.3%, while Nigeria ranks last at 3.30%. This represents a 15-fold difference between the highest and lowest values.

What Smoking Prevalence Measures

Smoking Prevalence % from World Bank Open Data, using the latest available country values in TerraBrawl.

Why This Ranking Matters

Examining Smoking Prevalence across all countries reveals patterns that might not be obvious at the national level. Regional clusters, outlier nations, and historical trajectories all become clearer when the full global picture is assembled in a single ranking.

Global Range

Values range from 3.30% (Nigeria) to 48.3% (Nauru) — a 15-fold difference across 164 countries.

Regional Patterns

European countries lead with 9 entries in the top 20, though representation spans multiple continents. Regional factors clearly play a role, but outliers from other parts of the world show that national policy and geography matter as much as continental trends.

Values are broadly distributed across countries, with the middle 50% ranging from 11.3% to 27.2%. The overall spread from 3.30% to 48.3% reflects significant global variation.

Notable Outliers

The top of the ranking is competitive: Nauru and Myanmar are separated by only 9%, indicating that the leading positions could shift with updated data.
