Smoking in Japan is practiced by around 20,000,000 people, and the nation is one of the world's largest tobacco markets,[1] though tobacco use has been declining in recent years.[2]
As of 2019, the Japanese adult smoking rate was 16.7%. By gender, 27.1% of men and 7.6% of women consumed a tobacco product at least once a month.[3] This is the lowest recorded figure since the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare or Japan Tobacco began surveying in 1965.
Per capita consumption in 2016 was 1,583 cigarettes, roughly 45% of the peak consumption of 3,497 in 1977.[4][5]
