Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey (CTUMS)
2003
Results for 2003
The Canadian Tobacco Use
Monitoring Survey (CTUMS) results from the first half of 2003 indicate that
the prevalence rate of smoking among youth 15 -19 years has dropped below
20% for the first time. Trends among all Canadians 15 years and older who
reported smoking has also continued to track slightly downwards. Not only
are fewer Canadians smoking, but they are also smoking fewer cigarettes
(15.7 cigarettes per day) during this period.

* Moderate sampling variability, interpret with caution.
# High sampling variability - although an estimate may be determined from
the table, data should be suppressed.
Estimates may not sum to
100 percent due to rounding.
