The forecast for tobacco consumption among women aged 15-24 in Italy shows a slight decline from 14.2% in 2024 to a stable 14.1% through 2025-2028. This indicates a minor decrease since 2023, when the percentage was slightly higher. The minimal year-on-year variation suggests a plateau in smoking rates. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years appears negligible, stressing an overall stagnation in the trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impacts of potential new legislation targeting youth smoking.
- Shifts in cultural attitudes towards smoking and health among young women.
- Effects of technological advances in smoking alternatives like e-cigarettes.
