Tobacco Use in Vermont
The Vermont Adult Tobacco Survey is a survey of Vermont adults (18+). We use the data collected from the survey to see how we're doing when it comes to decreasing tobacco use and sharing information on tobacco-related health issues.
We've run the Adult Tobacco Survey annually from 2001 to 2008, every other year from 2010 to 2016, and in 2022. During a survey year, we typically reach 1,600 to 3,000 respondents. Results are weighted in order to compensate for differences between the sample and the overall Vermont adult population. The weighting procedure ensures that the sample is representative of this population, and permits us to draw inferences about the whole Vermont adult population.
The Vermont Adult Tobacco Survey provides outcome data on several key tobacco measures, including initiation of tobacco use, secondhand smoke exposure, awareness and utilization of cessation services, risk perception and social influences, and tobacco-related disparities.
