Introduction
The advanced survey expanded on the base questionnaire and included detailed investigations of reasons for using or not using tobacco, quitting behaviour and motivations, attitudes toward tobacco and tobacco control, as well as psychographics and lifestyle indicators. The results of the advanced questionnaire were also used for segmentation purposes.

The advanced survey results reported here are based on 1501 telephone interviews, randomly obtained throughout the course of the survey, plus an oversample of 167 cigarette smokers, for a total of 1668. Additional interviews were conducted to raise the cigarette smoker sample to 500. The margin of error for a sample size of 1668 is ±2.4% nineteen times out of twenty. The composite sample of 1668 interviews was weighted to reflect known provincial age, gender and cigarette smoker proportions.

Reporting of the advanced survey results includes a discussion of the reasons for smoking, quitting or never using tobacco, followed by attitudes towards tobacco and tobacco control, a discussion of the rationale behind the segmentation analysis, and a discussion of the segment structure that emerged from the analysis.
