Time trends in <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong> any quitting products or advice in most recent quit<br />

attempt<br />

As noted in <strong>the</strong> methodology chapter, caution is needed when comparing <strong>the</strong> proportion<br />

<strong>of</strong> people who used quitting products or advice in <strong>the</strong>ir most recent quit attempt between<br />

<strong>the</strong> 2006 NZTUS and <strong>the</strong> 2008 and <strong>2009</strong> NZTUS. It is possible that <strong>the</strong> observed<br />

increases between 2006 and 2008/<strong>2009</strong> in <strong>the</strong> proportion <strong>of</strong> recent quit attempters<br />

receiving advice or using any products to help quit reflect methodological differences<br />

between <strong>the</strong> questionnaires.<br />

After adjusting for age, female recent quit attempters were found to be have been<br />

significantly more likely to receive advice or use products to help quit in <strong>2009</strong> than in<br />

2006. The pattern over time was similar for males, though not statistically significantly<br />

so (Figure 35).<br />
