2020
Cameroon scores higher than the average in its region and income group, but below the global average and top performers. Cameroon would benefit from significant improvements to its cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2020
Cameroon scores in the mid-range in affordability change and higher for tax structure, but would greatly benefit from increasing cigarette prices and tax share of price.
Scores Over Time
Cameroon's overall scores increased from 2016 to 2020. In that time, cigarettes became significantly less affordable and the tax structure became more optimal. Data in 2014 is insufficient to present the tax structure and overall score.
