Data: | 2021 |
Resum: | Background: Population data on tobacco use and its determinants require continuous monitoring and careful inter-country comparison. We aimed to provide the most up-to-date estimates on tobacco smoking from a large cross-sectional survey, conducted in selected European countries. Methods: Within the TackSHS Project, a face-to-face survey on smoking was conducted in 2017-2018 in 12 countries: Bulgaria, England, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Spain, representing around 80% of the 432 million European Union (EU) adult population. In each country, a representative sample of around 1,000 subjects aged 15 years and older was interviewed, for a total of 11,902 participants. Results: Overall, 25. 9% of participants were current smokers (31. 0% of men and 21. 2% of women, P < 0. 001), while 16. 5% were former smokers. Smoking prevalence ranged from 18. 9% in Italy to 37. 0% in Bulgaria. It decreased with increasing age (compared to <45, multivariable odds ratio [OR] for ≥65 year, 0. 31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0. 27-0. 36), level of education (OR for low vs high, 1. 32; 95% CI, 1. 17-1. 48) and self-rated household economic level (OR for low vs high, 2. 05; 95% CI, 1. 74-2. 42). The same patterns were found in both sexes. Conclusions: These smoking prevalence estimates represent the most up-to-date evidence in Europe. From them, it can be derived that there are more than 112 million current smokers in the EU-28. Lower socio-economic status is a major determinant of smoking habit in both sexes. |
