A new report by the World Health Organisation says while SA is one of the countries steadily reducing its smoking rates, it will not reach its target of 30% reduction by 2025.SA is one of the countries that is steadily reducing its smoking rates thanks to its anti-tobacco policies, but other low-income African countries such as Uganda and Kenya are doing even better.According to the fourth WHO global tobacco trends report, smoking rates in the past 20 years have been falling, dropping from 1.
Of the 60 countries in the world that will meet the 30% target, 25 are in Africa. They include Kenya and Uganda.
