Dublin, May 16, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Smoking Cessation Drugs Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The global smoking cessation products market to grow at a CAGR of 18.16% during the period 2016-2020.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global smoking cessation products market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of prescription, generic, off-label, and over-the-counter (OTC) products used for smoking cessation. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

A ban on tobacco advertisements around the world has had a positive effect on consumers. The report showed a decline of at least 16% in tobacco consumption compared to the pre-ban days. However, only 29 countries, which constitute 12% of the world's population, have banned these advertisements. Globally, one-third of countries have imposed a minimal restriction on tobacco advertisements and campaigns. It is estimated that around 78% of youngsters aged 13-15 years are exposed to advertisement or promotions for tobacco, leading them to experiment with the product.

According to the report, more people are becoming aware of the risks associated with tobacco use. Around six million users of tobacco die every year and this number is set to increase to eight million by 2030. Cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases are also caused due to tobacco use. Tobacco smoke consists of over 4,000 chemical compounds, with about 69 chemicals that are potentially known to cause cancer. These chemicals harm not only smokers, but also second-hand smokers who inhale the smoke in public spaces. Another area where the harmful effects of tobacco are witnessed are in tobacco farming, where young children from underprivileged families are often employed.

Further, the report states that the side effects associated with drugs and therapies may hinder market growth.
