Prevalence of Use of Other Tobacco Products

Cigarillos (little cigars) were the most popular tobacco product other than cigarettes, with 3.1% of Canadians reporting use in the past 30 days (Figure 4.1). Cigar use was reported by 1.4% of respondents, whereas pipe and chewing tobacco/snuff use were much less common, used by less than 0.5% of respondents (Figure 4.1).

After regular increases between 1999 and 2008, use of cigars/cigarillos appears to have declined somewhat in 2009 and 2010. Use of chewing tobacco/snuff and use of a pipe have both remained fairly stable over time (Figure 4.2).
