Chapter 6: Source <strong>of</strong> Cigarettes/Tobacco Products<br />
This section presents results on <strong>the</strong> type <strong>of</strong> places where smokers purchased or<br />
sourced cigarettes.<br />
Places <strong>of</strong> cigarette/tobacco purchase<br />
Overall, around two-thirds (66.8%, 63.7–70.0) <strong>of</strong> current smokers aged 15–64 years<br />
purchased cigarettes or tobacco <strong>from</strong> a dairy or o<strong>the</strong>r shop in <strong>the</strong> month prior to <strong>the</strong><br />
survey. Over half purchased cigarettes or tobacco <strong>from</strong> a supermarket (53.7%, 50.4–<br />
57.1) and half (50.5%, 47.4–53.6) made a purchase at a petrol station.<br />
Females were significantly more likely than males to purchase cigarettes or tobacco<br />
<strong>from</strong> a supermarket, after adjusting for age (p-value < 0.05) (Figure 24). Males were<br />
significantly more likely than females to purchase cigarettes or tobacco <strong>from</strong> a hotel,<br />
pub or restaurant, after adjusting for age (p-value < 0.05). There were no o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
differences by sex.<br />

Notes:<br />
1. Age standardised to <strong>the</strong> WHO world population.<br />
2. Smokers were able to report buying cigarettes <strong>from</strong> multiple locations in <strong>the</strong> past month, and so may be included<br />
in more than one category.<br />
