According to the most recent Global Adult Tobacco Survey implemented in Mexico in 2023 (INSP, 2023), the
prevalence of tobacco consumption among individuals aged 15 to 65, for both men and women, remains at the
same level as in 2009 (Figure 1). While significant declines were observed during the 2000s —mostly due to price
increases (Reynales-Shigematsu et al., 2015; Sánchez-Romero et al., 2021)—, the current rate of reduction appears
insufficient to meet the goals set for 2025 (WHO, 2013). Therefore, it is essential to intensify efforts to fully imple-
ment the best practices recommended in Article 6 of the World Health Organization Framework Convention for
Tobacco Control (WHO- FCTC), which advocates raising taxes on tobacco products.
