tobacco consumption

Inhaling dried leaves

Tobacco consumption is the use of tobacco products—smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipes; chewing tobacco; or using snuff.

The phrase appears most often in public health contexts discussing rates, trends, and consequences: Tobacco consumption has declined sharply since the 1960s.

It encompasses all forms of intake, distinguishing it from narrower terms like smoking.
