% of regular daily smokers in the population, age 15+, females
Indicator code: E171010.F This indicator shares the definition with the parent indicator \"% of regular daily smokers in the population, age 15+\".
This indicator is measured using the standard questionnaire during a health interview of a representative sample of the population aged 15 years and above. Many countries are carrying out such health interview surveys on a more or less regular basis. However, most of the data are collected from multiple sources by the Tobacco or Health unit at WHO/EURO.
When only male and female values are available, the total is calculated as the average of the male+female value.
More detailed sources may be given on the Tobacco Control Database: http://data.euro.who.int/tobacco/_

Coverage: The Microcensus is a household survey covering 1% of the German population (15 years and
older). The survey contains health-related topics (among others about smoking habits) which are
repeated not annually, but in specific intervals (1992, 1995, 1999, 2003, 2005, 2009 and 2013).
The questions on smoking habits are self-assessed: Do you currently smoke? Yes regularly / Yes
occasionally / No / No answer. Answers to the questions on smoking habits are optional and
self-reported. In principle, every person of the household should answer for himself, but proxy
interviews are also permissible in the Microcensus. That means that one household member may supply
information about other household members.

Ireland
From 1998, source is Survey of Lifestyle, Attitudes and Nutrition (SLAN), and data refers to adults
aged 18 and older. It should be noted that young men (age 18-29 years) were under-represented in
2002. As this group have the highest proportion of smokers, this may have led to an under-estimation
of the percentage of male smokers in 2002, and for this reason the apparent increase in smoking
rates between 2002 and 2007 should be treated with caution. * A different methodology was employed
in 2007. While 1998 and 2002 were postal surveys using samples drawn from the electoral register,
2007 involved face-to-face interviews and the sampling frame was the GeoDirectory.
* The exact same question was asked in 1998 and 2002. While a slightly different question was asked
in 2007, it should not have made a difference. The question wording is:
- for 1998 and 2002: Do you smoke cigarettes now? No; Yes, regularly; Yes, occasionally (usually
less than 1 per day).
- for 2007: Do you now smoke: every day, some days, or not at all?
From 2015 , source is the Annual Healthy Ireland survey, commissioned by the Department of Health as
part of the Healthy Ireland initiative. Data refers to those aged 15 and over living in private
households.
The question asked was the standard EHIS question regarding smoking:
Do you smoke tobacco products?
% of regular smokers is estimated by summing those who smoke daily or occasionally.

United Kingdom
Source of Data: ONS General Lifestyle Survey, from 2012 Opinions and Lifestyle Survey 2012. 2014
figures taken from the ONS ?Adult smoking habits in Great Britain: 2014?.
Coverage: Data is for Great Britain only i.e. excludes Northern Ireland.
Deviation from the Definition: Data on regular daily smoking is only available in adults age 16+.
In children age 15 and below, regular smoking is defined as smoking at least once a week, therefore,
we are unable to produce a figure for smoking in adults aged 15+.
Break in Time Series: From 2000 figures are based on a weighted sample (before 2000 figures are
based on an unweighted sample, and are not directly comparable with figures from 2000).
