03. Montenegro

Value: 41.2 

Within Montenegro, 80% of lung cancer cases in men and 50% of those in women are caused by tobacco smoking, making cigarettes, once again, the leading cause of lung cancer in the region. The National Tobacco Control Commission was established in the country in 2003, which paved the way for tobacco control strategies and policies. Despite these measures, lung cancer rates have continued to increase, meaning that other efforts need to be directed toward solving this ever-growing issue.
