Canada TOBACCO USE IN CANADA: FINDINGS FROM THE CCHS Current (daily and occasional) smoking in Canadian Provinces, 2000‐2010 Key Finding •
According to data collected during the Canadian Community Health Surveys taken in 2000 and 2010, the rate of smoking fell in all Canadian jurisdictions, although in some jurisdictions the reduction was not statistically significant. •
The overall decline was 5.1 percentage points (from 25.9% to 20.8%), a decline of 20%. Because there was population growth during this period, the number of smokers fell at a somewhat smaller rate (11%). •
More than half of Canada’s smokers live in Ontario and Quebec (62%). While the northern territories have the highest smoking rates, only 0.5% of Canadian smokers live in the northern region. Prevalence of Current Smoking, 2000 and 2010: by province
