Background of the Study
Smoking is a significant risk factor for various non-communicable diseases, including lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic respiratory illnesses. The negative health consequences of smoking have been well-documented, and tobacco control measures have been widely adopted globally to reduce smoking prevalence and mitigate its harmful effects. In Nigeria, the government has put in place policies aimed at reducing tobacco use, such as the National Tobacco Control Act of 2015, which regulates tobacco advertising, smoking in public places, and tobacco sales.
Zamfara State, located in the northwest, has witnessed a rise in smoking-related health problems, particularly among youth and vulnerable populations. However, the effectiveness of smoking cessation policies in the state remains unclear. This study aims to examine the impact of smoking cessation policies on public health in Zamfara State, focusing on the reduction in smoking rates and the subsequent decline in tobacco-related diseases.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the existence of smoking cessation policies, tobacco use continues to pose a major public health challenge in Zamfara State. High smoking rates among certain segments of the population, particularly in rural areas, highlight gaps in policy implementation and public awareness. This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of smoking cessation policies in reducing tobacco consumption and improving public health outcomes in Zamfara State.
