Comment: The greatest Burden of Disease risks for males in Thailand are Tobacco Use (16.4%) and Alcohol Use (14%). Thus, nicotine use is Thailand’s #1 drug problem (for males). For females, neither tobacco nor alcohol made the top three risks, but tobacco use contributes to two of the top three risks for females (high fasting plasma glucose and high systolic blood pressure).
