Abstract

The purpose of this policy brief is to share facts obtained in the country profile of Nigeria between 2012 and 2016. It recommends youth awareness campaigns on the negative effects of tobacco use, the increase of ad valorem tax rates to make tobacco products less accessible, and to change the tax base of tobacco products. The Consortium pour la recherche économique et sociale (CRES) / Consortium for Economic and Social Research developed a country profile on smoking in each of the 15 Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries.
