Special Eurobarometer 506: Attitudes of Europeans towards tobacco and electronic cigarettes

The European Union and its Member States have been working to reduce the use of tobacco and related products through a range of measures, including regulating tobacco and related products, restricting the advertising and sponsorship of tobacco and related products, implementing smoke-free environments and running anti-smoking campaigns. The European Commission regularly carries out public opinion polls to monitor Europeans' attitudes to a range of tobacco-related issues. Less than a quarter (23%) of the respondents smoke boxed cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos or a pipe, a decrease by three percentage points since 2017. 14% of respondents have at least tried e-cigarettes once or twice, while around one in twenty (6%) say the same for heated tobacco products.

The results by volumes are distributed as follows:

• Volume A: Countries
• Volume AA: Groups of countries
• Volume A' (AP): Trends
• Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries
• Volume B: EU/socio-demographics
• Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics
• Volume C: Country/socio-demographics
