Special Eurobarometer 332: Tobacco

This survey is the latest in a series of surveys to measure EU citizen's behaviours and attitudes towards tobacco. For over 20 years EU legislation and policy has been developed with the intention of encouraging tobacco smokers to quit, preventing tobacco initiation and protecting citizens from second-hand tobacco smoke. Despite the progress achieved, almost a third of European citizens smoke, with an average of 14.4 cigarettes smoked per day. Most citizens surveyed are in favour of a variety of tobacco-control policies. The main themes addressed in this survey are: - Who uses tobacco and nicotine products - Frequency and amount of tobacco used per day - Behaviour and attitudes towards giving up smoking - Exposure to second-hand smoke in private and public settings - Perceptions influencing cigarette choice and perceived indicators of harm - Awareness of tobacco promotion, purchasing behaviour and attitudes to tobacco control-policies The survey fieldwork was carried out between the 2nd and the 19th of October 2009 by TNS Opinion and Social Network. #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
