Abstract

Introduction: Tobacco is the leading preventable cause of death in the world and kills up to seven million people each year. Monitoring its
prevalence is important for prevention programs. The aim of this work was to summarize the literature on the prevalence of smoking in the
Maghreb countries during the past two decades.
Methods: The research was conducted on Medline via Pubmed based on the Mesh terms: «Tobacco Use», «Smoking» and «Africa, Northern».
Were included articles reporting the prevalence of current smoking in the general population or a subgroup of the population in one or more
Maghreb countries. The extracted data was related to current smoking, its definition, total prevalence and prevalence by sex.
Results: About 50 articles were included, the data was mainly from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Two studies reported prevalence among college
students in Libya. The highest prevalences in the general population were noted in Tunisia with an overall prevalence, during the period studied, of
25% (95% CI [21% -29%]). This prevalence was 16% (95% CI [14% -18%]) in Morocco and 14% (95% CI [8% -22%]) in Algeria.
Conclusion: The prevalence reported was generally high, especially in Tunisia, although lower than in developed countries, hence the importance
of setting up and strengthening prevention and control measures, mainly among young people.

Keywords:

Smoking - Tobacco use - Epidemiology - Africa, northern
