Abstract:
Tobacco use is a major preventable contributor to premature death and disease globally. Tobacco epidemic monitoring plays a vital role in tobacco control, considered an essential component of tobacco control in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and MPOWER package of tobacco control. In this paper, we reviewed the methods of tobacco monitoring worldwide, mainly including face-to-face surveys, telephone interviews, online questionnaire surveys, data sharing, model estimation, smoking cessation support, and the combination of multiple methods. Meanwhile, we analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of those monitoring methods. Tobacco monitoring methods vary in countries and regions. The review might provide a reference for tobacco epidemic monitoring in China.
