Approximately 2.7 billion people worldwide, including 767 million children under the age of 15, are exposed to passive smoking, resulting in 1.66 million deaths. This phenomenon contributes to a significant loss of healthy life years, particularly among women and children. Although the number of smokers is decreasing, exposure to tobacco remains concerning, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. Tobacco control measures are needed to reduce this health burden.
