ABSTRACT

Objective. To estimate the prevalence of current smoked tobacco use in the Mexican population at the intersection of socioeconomic status (SES), sex, age, and urbanicity. Materials and methods. We used data from the Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición conducted between 2018 and 2024 (n= 111 833) to estimate the prevalence of current smoked tobacco use across intersections of sociodemographic variables. Results. The highest prevalence of current smoked tobacco use (41.8%) was observed in male adults aged 25 to 34 years with low SES, from urban areas. For female adults, the peak prevalence (16.7%) occurred in the 25 to 34 age group, among those with high SES who lived in urban settings. Conclusions. This intersectional analysis makes the smoking epidemic with its social inequalities visible, identifies population groups with the highest use of smoked tobacco, and prioritizes the perspective of equity in tobacco control.
