Prevalence Section Completed on Name Title and Institution (date) by: Email and Postal Address Telephone 1. 1.1 PREVALENCE a) Using the table below, please provide information on current tobacco use prevalence in your country. Please include the age of the population and the definitions of smoking/tobacco use used in your surveys. Please state if the requested data is not available. (Any current use of smoked tobacco) (%)* Male Female Subtotal Adult (Ages: Youth (Ages: ) ) (Any current use of smokeless tobacco) (%)** Male Female Subtotal (Any current tobacco use) (%)*** Male Female Subtotal * ** *** Any current use of smoked tobacco refers to percentage of persons in your country who smoke any type of tobacco product. This measure should include all smoked tobacco products in your country (e.g. cigarettes, cigars, bidis, pipes etc.). If you only have prevalence data on individual types of smoked tobacco, please see question 1.b below. Any current use of smokeless tobacco refers to the percentage of persons in your country who use any type of smokeless tobacco product. This measure should include all smokeless tobacco products in your country (e.g. chewing tobacco, pan masala, etc.). If you only have prevalence data on individual types of smokeless tobacco, please see question 1.b below. Any current tobacco use refers to the overall percentage of persons in your country who use any type of tobacco product, whether smoked or chewed. Because in many countries, some people smoke tobacco and also use smokeless tobacco, this measure is simply not the sum of the percentage of smokers and smokeless tobacco users. We understand that many countries may not have this type of data. Definition used: Source and date of information (i.e. survey and report): b) For the following table, please list the three most common types (not brands) of tobacco use (smoking and smokeless) that are relevant to your country.

For other countries, we will report rates of smoking-related diseases, based upon data estimates from the WHO World Health Statistics Annual or UICC’s Globocan. This strategy is identical to that reported by the Tobacco Control Country Profiles. However, we know that some countries have produced estimates of smoking/tobacco attributable mortality (e.g. Mexico, India). We will include summaries of any reports we receive on the web-based data warehouse Nations. Section Instructions: 1.

Additionally, please attach copies of all currently applicable laws, regulations, decrees, orders, or any other form of legal enactment that address tobacco control in your country, including tax laws. We are interested in obtaining copies of laws and regulations, at the national level, covering restrictions or requirements related to: a) Smokefree Environments b) Tobacco Advertising/Promotions/Sponsorships c) Tobacco Product Packaging d) Tobacco Product Regulation e) Tobacco Sales/Distribution Restrictions f) Licensing of Tobacco Businesses g) Excise Taxes on Tobacco In collecting this information, it is important to review both laws (passed by legislatures/parliaments or by presidential or royal decree) and regulations/subsidiary legislation (typically in the form of ministerial order or circular). The provisions covering these categories may be found in one comprehensive tobacco law/regulation, or in different laws/regulations. Some countries have separate acts and regulations covering the various topics listed above. For example, advertising bans/restorations may be found in one act and provisions on smoke-free environments may be found in a separate act by another name. It also is important to obtain all amendments to the laws/regulations. In some countries, when the law is amended, it is published in a consolidated version that contains the original provisions that still apply as well as the amendments. In other countries, there are separate laws for the original enactment and for the amendments. Excise taxes are likely to be covered in a tax or finance law and are unlikely to be found in a comprehensive tobacco control law. Data for the National Laws and Regulations section can generally be found at one or more of the following institutions and agencies: 1. Ministry of Health 2. Ministry of Justice 3. Ministry of Finance, Trade, or Commerce 4. Non-governmental organizations involved in tobacco control If it is impossible to obtain copies of the laws and regulations, please provide the citation(s) to all the applicable law(s) and regulations. Finally, please make note of whether the copies you obtained were from a copyrighted source if you can. Section Instructions: 1.
