Announcement
Included with this issue is Wave 2 of the Canadian Tobacco Use
Monitoring Survey. The survey was developed to provide Health
Canada and its partners with timely, reliable and continual data
on tobacco use and related issues. The survey's primary objective
is to track changes in smoking status and amount smoked, especially
for populations most at risk. Fact sheets based on Wave 1 were
released in January 2000. These latest findings are based mainly
on the full-year data (February-December 1999) for which Statistics
Canada interviewed approximately 22,000 persons.
