There are a number of tobacco surveys that provide ongoing information on tobacco use in British Columbia:

• Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey (CTUMS)  - this semi-annual survey shows tobacco use for national and provincial tobacco use rates
• Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) - this survey tracks national, provincial and health service delivery area tobacco use rates
• Tobacco Attitudes and Behaviours Survey (TABS) - specific to British Columbia, this survey tracks attitudes and tobacco use rates provincially and in all health authorities.

This research assists the ministry and health authorities in determining the effectiveness of tobacco reduction programs in British Columbia.
