Smoking rates in Brazil by gender 2021

When asked whether they were current smokers, 11.8 percent of male Brazilian respondents answered affirmatively in 2021, slightly up from 11.7 percent of the men surveyed a year earlier. This figure was higher than the share of Brazilian female respondents who answered affirmatively to the same question, which reached more than six percent that same year.
