Smoking is becoming more socially unacceptable in Ghana. Graphic health warnings are now mandatory and single-stick sales are banned, while anti-tobacco activities are increasing.
In 2021, tobacco has remained resilient to the COVID-19 pandemic despite the ongoing economic impact caused. However, while demand for all types of products continues to rise, it is a lot lower than seen over the review period due to the gradually increasing prices.
Smoking is not popular in Ghana, with few Ghanaians smoking and most regarding smoking as unhealthy and antisocial. Smoking among women has always been frowned upon but even male smokers are facing heavy and increasing pressure to quit.
In 2021, the economy has started to recover from the pandemic in line with the easing of restrictions. Although consumer purchasing power is low, sales of tobacco has remained drastically unimpacted as the motivation for smoking goes beyond the price.
In 2021, the movement and supply of tobacco, namely cigarettes, has improved compared with 2020. This is down to the lifting of COVD-19-related restrictions and improvements to the supply chain, imports, and international trade.
