Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey, 1999: Cycle 1, Person File

The Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey was conducted for Health Canada to provide data on tobacco use and related issues. The primary objective of the survey is to track changes in smoking status, especially for population most at risk, such as the 15-24 years olds. The survey will allow Health Canada to estimate smoking prevalence for age groups 15-24 and 25+ by province and by gender on a semi-annual basis. The survey is presented in three cycles: Cycle 1 - taken Feb-June 1999; Cycle 2 - taken July-Dec 1999; and Cycle Annual - combining both time periods. Each cycle contains two files; household data, and person data.
