The overall level of smoking prevalence of 30% (+/- 2.4%) reflected in this report is based on a survey completed by TNS mrbi in August 2002, based on a population of 1,503 respondents.
A National Health and Lifestyle Survey, also conducted during the summer of 2002, used a larger sample size of 5,992 adult respondents aged 18+ and 5,712 school going children aged 10 – 18. This survey, conducted by the Centre for Health Promotion Studies in the National University of Ireland, Galway shows a lower smoking prevalence of 27% (+/- 3%). Allowing for the larger sample size and methodological differences, the data in both surveys is consistent.
