Smokers outnumbered Smoking. habits of Canadians have remained relatively un- changed from 1972 to 1973, ac- cording to statistics released by National . Health and Welfare Minister Marc Lalonde. The latest figures show' that non-smokers outnumber smokers in Canada: 53 per cent of the population 15 years of age and over does not smoke at all, and -60 per cent-of•the population over 15 does not smoke cigarettes regularly = that is, every day. A slightly greater percentage of Canadian women over the age of 15 were smokers in 1978 (36.6 per cent) th n in 1972 (35.7 per cent), continuing a trend evident since 1965, especially in the pgp group 15 to 19 years, In 1965, n.8. per _cent of Canadian .girls in- this age group were non-smokers, compared to ,67 per cent in 1972 and 65.9 per cent in 1973. Of Canadian .men over the age of 15, 42.2 per cent were non- smokers in 1973, compared to 42.6 per cent in 1972 and 34.8 per cent in 1965. The 57.8 per cent of the smoking male population in 1973 was divided as follows: 47.8 per cent regular cigarette smokers, compared to 47.4 per cent in 1972 and 54.6 per cent in 1965; 3.8 per cen$$ occasional cigarette smokers, compared to 3.5 per cent in 1972 and 3.3 per cent in 1965; 6.2 per cent smoked only pipe and -or cigars, compared to. 6.5 per cent in 1972 aind 7.6 per .cent in 1965. From 1965 to 1972, the rising percentages of women smokers were outweighed by lower rates for men, to produce lower over - a I I figures each successive year. The 1973 statistics show a halt to this trend. While the levels of smoking are close.to 1972 levels, the over-all ,downward trend has, levelled off with marginal in- creases _in many categories. Statistics, prepared for the Non -Medical Use of Drugs Directorate by Statistics Canada, indicate that those who do smoke, however, appear;,:be. Y king more cigarettes per. try ere has -beer a -r-in-the-perentage- . of smokers having from 11 to 25, cigarettes a day and a decrease in the percentage of the ones smoking from 1 to 10 cigarettes a day. The change of the percent- age of heavy smokers (more than 25 a day) was negligible. The increase of the number of ---- cigarettes smoked every day by regular smokers acid the fact that few smokers are able to stay in the category of occasional smokers .indicate the strong dependency produced by nicotine.
