Cigarettes are still the most widely consumed tobacco product worldwide.

Of all the tobacco and nicotine products sold, 92% are cigarettes (approximately 6.3 trillion cigarettes are consumed per year).

Global public health experts agree that quitting cigarettes completely is the preferred way to minimise the risks of smoking.
