In Peru, smoking prevalence is higher than the OECD average for men but lower for women: 34.6% of men and 8.3% of women over 15 years of age in Peru used tobacco daily in 2013, as compared to 24.2% and 15.5% respectively among OECD countries (OECD, 2016). This was somewhat lower than the OECD average of 8.8 litres in 2013 (OECD, 2016). Nevertheless, 23.2% of the Peruvian population are affected by excessive alcohol consumption (35.2% of men and 12.7% of women).
