dc.description.abstractThe aim of this article is to illustrate a comparative analysis of the prevalence of alcohol and tobacco use and its impact on demographic and health indicators in Cameroon and Albania. Tobacco is the leading cause of death, illness and impoverishment. It kills more than eight million people each year; of which around 1.2 million are the result of non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke (WHO, 2021). The harmful use of alcohol is also a global problem resulting in millions of deaths, it is not only a causal factor in many diseases, but also a precursor to injury, violence and risky sexual behaviour. The evolving methods of consumption and harmful byproducts are not fully being attenuated to prevent initiation or discourage its continuance. The issue is that alcohol and tobacco industries provide enticingly substantial economic benefits.en_US
