According to the WHO global report on trends in prevalence of tobacco use 2000-2025 third edition [1], overall global tobacco use has fallen from 1.397 billion in 2000 to 1.337 billion in 2018, or by approximately 60 million people. This has been largely driven by reductions in the number of females using these products (346 million in 2000 down to 244 million in 2018, or a fall over around 100 million). However, male tobacco use had risen by around 40 million, from 1.050 billion in 2000 to 1.093 billion in 2018 (or 82% of the world’s current 1.337 billion tobacco users). The report also projects that the number of male tobacco users will decline by more than 1 million come 2020 and 5 million less by 2025.

Another source [2] shows that smoking is responsible for about 8 million premature deaths each year and that about 15% of global deaths are attributed to smoking. Smoking deaths typically affect older populations: more than half of deaths occurred in people over 70 years old; 93% were over 50 years.

A third source [3] provides statistics on tobacco production worldwide from 1990 to 2021 (in 1,000 metric tons). It shows that tobacco production peaked in 1997 with about 7.5 million metric tons and then declined to about 4.6 million metric tons in 2021.

I hope this information is helpful and answers your question.
