The age-standardised prevalence of smoking roll-your-own cigarettes decreased significantly for 15–64-year-old Māori males between 2006 and 2009 (p-value < 0.05) (Figure 17). There was no significant difference in the age-standardised prevalence of smoking roll-your-own cigarettes for 15–64-year-old Māori females between 2006 and 2009.

Manufactured cigarette consumption Among current smokers aged 15–64 years, 60.2% (57.0–63.3) smoked manufactured cigarettes (also known as tailor-made cigarettes). There was no significant difference by sex. Manufactured cigarette consumption, by age group The prevalence of smoking manufactured cigarettes was higher in the older age groups than in the younger age groups (confirmed using logistic regression) (Figure 18). Current smokers aged 15–19 years were the least likely to smoke manufactured cigarettes, but this age group was not significantly different from all of the other age groups.
