Smoking Habits Survey, 1997

During the 1960's the question of influencing people's smoking habits was treated several times in the Norwegian Parliament. Important documents for the justification of a more restrictive policy with respect to the marketing of tobacco products "Påvirkning av røykeadferd", The Norwegian Cancer Society 1967, where the proposal to build an administration that would take care of the work on smoking and health was raised. Report to the Storting nr. 62, 1968-1969, that proposed a ban on cigarette advertising, and Recommandation of the Social Commitee nr. 143, 1969-1970. The National Council on Tobacco and Health was created in 1971, and the same year came "Innstilling til lov om restriktive tiltak ved omsetning av tobakksvarer" (The Tobacco Act), enacted as law nr. 14 og March 9th 1973 and implemented from July 1st 1975.

On behalf of the National Council on Tobacco and Health Statistics Norway has since 1973 conducted smoking habits surveys as an addition to the Labour Force Surveys every 4th quarter. In 1974 and in 1975 the Smoking habits survey was conducted each quarter of the year. The purpose was to obtain information on the status and changes in Norwegian smoking habits, mainly as research material for the National Council on Tobacco and Health. From 1992 to 2004, questions on smoking habits have largely been asked in connection with Statistics Norway's Omnibus Surveys. The Travel and Holiday Surveys is a continuation of the Omnibus Surveys. The main purpose of these surveys is to identify Norwegians' travel habits, and to ensure the collection of other official statistics. Questions about smoking habits are included in these surveys.

This file contains questions about smoking habits asked in connection with the Omnibus Study November 1997.

20世纪60年代，挪威议会曾多次就影响民众吸烟习惯的议题进行审议。为推行烟草制品营销领域更严格的管制政策提供支撑的重要文件包括：1967年挪威癌症协会发布的《影响吸烟行为》（Påvirkning av røykeadferd），该文件提出设立专门机构负责吸烟与健康相关工作的提案；1968-1969年度提交给挪威议会（Storting）的第62号报告，提议禁止香烟广告；以及1969-1970年度社会委员会第143号建议。
1971年，挪威国家烟草与健康委员会（National Council on Tobacco and Health）正式成立。同年出台了《关于烟草制品销售限制措施的提案》（Innstilling til lov om restriktive tiltak ved omsetning av tobakksvarer），即《烟草法》，该法案于1973年3月9日以第14号法律正式颁布，并于1975年7月1日起正式实施。
受挪威国家烟草与健康委员会委托，挪威统计局（Statistics Norway）自1973年起，每第四季度开展一次吸烟习惯调查，作为劳动力调查（Labour Force Surveys）的补充项目。1974年与1975年，该项调查在全年每一季度均有开展。此次调查旨在获取挪威民众吸烟习惯的现状及变化趋势相关数据，主要作为挪威国家烟草与健康委员会的研究支撑材料。1992年至2004年间，吸烟习惯相关问题大多被纳入挪威统计局的多主题抽样调查（Omnibus Surveys）中。旅行与假期调查（Travel and Holiday Surveys）是多主题抽样调查的延续项目，其核心目标是掌握挪威民众的出行习惯，并为其他官方统计数据的采集提供支撑，相关吸烟习惯问题也被纳入该调查之中。
本数据集包含1997年11月多主题抽样调查中涉及吸烟习惯的相关问题。
