The results of KIIS survey on tobacco smoking in Ukraine as of 2015 compared to 2013-2014

Kiev International Institute of Sociology at the request of the Ukrainian Center for Tobacco Control and NGO Advocacy Center LIFE at December 2015 has performed a nationwide survey (omnibus) with questions about smoking, smoking cessation, smoking intensity, smoking in public places and at workplaces and perception of tobacco products’ promotion (see Annex A to review the list of questions included in the survey in 2015). The most recent similar surveys were conducted by KIIS in February 2013 and October 2014[1]. The polls were conducted in 110 settlements (PSU) in all regions of Ukraine; in 2014 and 2015 - without the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. In Luhansk region the poll was conducted only in territories controlled by Ukraine’s government forces. In Donetsk region the poll was conducted both in areas controlled by Ukraine’s government forces, and territories controlled by separatist forces. Comparisons between surveys was made by identifying 95% confidence intervals for the estimations obtained in each survey. We conclude that differences are significant if the confidence intervals do not overlap.

Main findings:

  • The prevalence of everyday smoking among the adult population of Ukraine (aged 18 and older) is 24%, in particular - 9,0% among women and 42,4% among men, which is not very different from that of 2014;

  • The percentage of former every day smokers[2] is 2% among women, and 12% among men, and also did not increase compared to previous years;

  • Average number of cigarettes smoked per day did not changed significantly, and is 17 for male smokers, and 11-12 for female smokers;
