February to June 2008 (Previous release)

The microdata file from the first cycle of the 2008 Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey (CTUMS) is now available.

Note: The CTUMS, conducted since 1999 by Statistics Canada on behalf of Health Canada, provides timely, reliable and continuous data on tobacco use and related issues. Its objective is to track changes in the smoking status and amount smoked, especially among young people aged 15 to 24, who are most at risk of taking up smoking. This file contains the data collected between February and June 2008 from about 10,000 respondents.

Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 4440.

February to June 2008 data are now available in the Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey Microdata File (82M0020XCB, $2,140). See How to order products.
