What is this about?

This data is collected using the Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey which surveys a representative sample of adults in Jersey. Respondents are asked how often they smoke cigarettes and are given a range of options from never to daily. This indicator monitors the proportion of adults who currently smoke, either daily or occasionally (not including e-cigarettes).

Overall, Jersey has seen a significant reduction in the proportion of the population who smoke from 25% in 2005 down to 15% in 2019. The proportion of adults who reported that they had never smoked has also significantly increased over this period, from 45% in 2005 to 53% in 2020. Consistent with the decline in reported smoking, the volume of tobacco imported into Jersey has reduced significantly over time, down by nearly 40% between 2013 and 2019. Imports dropped by over 19% in 2019 alone.

In 2022, the proportion of people who reported smoking at least occasionally had risen to 15% from a low of 13% in 2021.
