  1. Results may differ to the past evaluation as countries (as at 2020) were excluded if they were no longer at the highest level; countries which have achieved the highest level twice were only included the second time the highest level was achieved to avoid double counting
  2. 1Totals include countries that implement multiple policies
  3. 2Total is the number of individual countries achieving one or multiple MPOWER policies at the highest level for this time period
  4. 3Rounding has been applied to all estimates as in Levy et al. [37]
  5. 4The High Income Country (HIC) risks apply the 0.5 multiplier to the reduction in total number of smokers in all countries to reflect that 50% of all people who smoke will die from smoking. This column applies the HIC multiplier to all countries
  6. 5The Low and Middle Income Country (LMIC) adjusted estimates apply the 0.65 multiplier to LMICs countries to reflect the lower mortality risk of smoking in these countries. This column applies the risk of death according to a country’s income level (HIC or LMIC)
