International Tobacco Intervention

Canada

The Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey (CTUMS) 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 15 – 24 year olds, who are at most risk for starting to smoke.

The CCTC, formerly the Canadian Council on Smoking and Health (CCSH), was founded in 1974 by non-governmental organizations concerned with the tobacco epidemic such as the Canadian Cancer Society, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and the Canadian Lung Association.
