Vietnam has a population of 92 million people, of which over 42% is under the age of 24.
The current smoking rate in adult males is 56.1%. COPD prevalence in Vietnam is the highest in the Asia Pacific region at 6.7%. It has very sparse health infrastructure in rural areas so there are long travel times and poor access.
