Tobacco in Cameroon
Description
Retail volume sales (sticks) of tobacco continued to decline in 2024 but at a slower rate than in the previous year. Cigarettes continued to dominate tobacco sales, and retail volume sales of cigarettes declined, driven by unit price rises, falling import volumes and a growing illicit trade. Demand for most other types of tobacco remains very limited in Cameroon, but shisha (under pipe tobacco) continues to grow in popularity among young adults in urban areas.
