4 National monitors and outputs

5 National monitors Monitor Topics Frequency Population HPA runs three monitors that have a focus on tobacco Health and Lifestyles Survey Youth Insights Survey (part of NZ Youth Tobacco Monitor) Tobacco, alcohol, mental health, gambling, etc Tobacco, alcohol, mental health, social connectedness, youth culture and lifestyles, etc Biennial Adults aged 15+ Biennial Year 10 students (14-15 year olds) New Zealand Smoking Monitor Tobacco Fortnightly Current smokers 18+ Recent quitters 18+ Serious quitters 18+

7 Latest findings on selected topics

8 1) Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS): E-Cigarettes

9 % E-cigarette use among 14 & 15- year-olds 64.7 Rate of ever-use is rapidly increasing 2014: 20% (= 11,900) 2012: 7% Current smokers 53.8 Infrequent smokers 41.2 Ex-smokers 16.5 Susceptible never-smokers 6.1 Non-susceptible never-smokers Smoking status Main reasons for first trying 1. Curiosity (65%) 2. Recommended by another person (24%) 3. Safer than tobacco cigarettes (20%) NOT cessation Estimate (approx) Current smokers 3,000 Infrequent/ex- smokers 4,900 Never smokers 3,900 Source: White, J., Li, J., Newcombe, R., &.Walton, D.

10 E-cigarette use among adults Ever-use = 13% (= 415,000) Current use = 1% (= 32,000) Differed by tobacco smoking status Main reasons for first trying 1. Curiosity (57%) 2. Cessation (31%) 3. Replace smoking some of the time (8%) Ever-use (%) Current use (%) Current smokers Ex-smokers Never-smokers Source: Li, J., Newcombe, R., &.Walton, D. (2015).

14 3) Tobacco tax increases

15 Self-reported responses NZ Smoking Monitor in field since July 2011 Data collected from 2012, 2014 and 2015 have been analysed Data relevant to 2016 tax increase still being collected Analytical approach: Before (Oct-Dec) and after (Jan-Mar) analysis Walton et al. (2013). Smokers behavioural responses before and after the 2012 tobacco excise increase. Kotuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online. Li et al. (in draft). Small annual increases in tobacco tax lose impact over time: Evidence from smokers self-reported responses to the 5 th and 6 th increases in an annual series.

16 Response categories Categories (mutually exclusive, prioritised) Smoking-related change Product-related change Other change No change Survey responses Quit Tried to quit Cut down Changed to cheaper type Changed to cheaper brand Rolled smaller cigarettes Smoked duty free Other change No change Analysis approach was modelled on: Dunlop et al. (2011).

17 2012 tax increase (3 rd ) Categories (mutually exclusive, prioritised) Survey responses Before After Smoking-related change Quit* Tried to quit Cut down Product-related change Changed to cheaper type Changed to cheaper brand Rolled smaller cigarettes Smoked duty free Other change Other change No change No change *Quit 1.7% before, and 2.8 after the tax increase

18 4) Youth smoking and co-morbidity

19 Smoking prevalence among youth Smoking prevalence among Year 10 students, ASH Year 10 Snapshot annual, n=30,000 Youth Insights Survey biennial, n=3,000 Jo 6.1% 2.8% Females; Māori Source: Action on Smoking and Health (2015) Factsheet 1 ASH Year 10 Snapshot Survey: Topline results. Auckland; Action on Smoking and Health

21 Young people engage in multiple risky behaviours Year 10 students who had smoked tobacco in the past month... TOTAL 11.4 Tobacco only 2.6 Tobacco + marijuana 1.4 Tobacco + binge drinking 2.2 Tobacco + marijuana + binge drinking 4.7 %

22 Other areas of work Tobacco sales data (in the TC data repository) Cotinine study (n=700) from the Youth Tobacco Monitor Preliminary analysis shows convergent evidence for self-reported prevalence estimates E-Cigarette focus groups and expanding E-Cigarette questions
