Reference excerpt

Tobacco use in Nepal is a common practice. Smoking cigarettes is the most common mode of tobacco use in Nepal. Tobacco is attributed to cause over 27000 annual deaths in Nepal.

Background Both smoking and the use of smokeless tobacco are common practices in Nepal with 28.3% of adults consuming some form of tobacco in Nepal. Out of smokeless tobacco, chewing tobacco is the most common form of tobacco use Beedi use is also common among Nepalese women. The Act against Tobacco was established in 2011, which prohibits the sale of tobacco use to minors and pregnant women.

Prevalence of tobacco use 48.3% of males and 11.6% of female adults consumed some form of tobacco in 2019. Cigarettes are the most common form of tobacco used by both sexes, while adults use less beedi compared to females. Chewing tobacco is more common than the use of Gutka in Nepal .

Smoking in Nepal In 2019, 28.9% of adults (aged 15–69 years) used either smoked or smokeless tobacco products. In the entire population, 17.1% of Nepalese smoked in 2019, with 22% male and 6% female. The average age for initiation of smoking is 17.8 years, with 17.7 for men and 18.4 for female.

Legislation Smoking is prohibited in public transportation, educational institutions, hospitals, restaurants, government offices, and other public places as per the Tobacco Act 2011. The sale of cigarettes to minors and pregnant women is a punishable offence in Nepal, along with the act of smoking in the above-mentioned public places. The advertisement of tobacco products is also prohibited. Recently, the decision to ban the sale of tobacco in Kathmandu Metropolitan City was reverted by Patan High Court.

Graphics warning In 2015, Nepal implemented the world's largest graphic warning on cigarette packets, which kept around 90% of the area covered with graphics and warning message.

Anti Smoking Campaign Smokers are not selfish anti smoking campaign was initiated by Dr. Om Foundation from February 1-14, 2024, culminating on valentine's day with aim to make meaningful sacrifices for loved ones by quitting habits of smoking and other tobacco products.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tobacco use in Nepal

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tobacco use in Nepal claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tobacco use in Nepal before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tobacco use in Nepal ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tobacco use in Nepal

In research: Tobacco use in Nepal appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tobacco use in Nepal in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tobacco use in Nepal is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Culture of Nepal, Drugs in Nepal, Tobacco by country, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tobacco use in Nepal outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
