Summary/Abstract: This study presents data on tobacco use in North Macedonia based on the Survey on Tobacco Consumption in Southeastern European Countries (STC-SEE) conducted in 2019 and offers recommendations to policymakers for adopting more effective tobacco control policies. This is one of the first studies in North Macedonia that provides such comprehensive information and estimates on tobacco use. Monitoring and availability of accurate and timely information on tobacco use and control are among the key prerequisites for successful health and fiscal policies to ensure prevention, reduce the harmful effects of tobacco use, and protect human health and life.
