Use Monitoring Survey.
CTUMS was developed to provide Health Canada and its partners with timely,
reliable and continual data on tobacco use and related issues. The survey’s primary
objective is to track changes in smoking status and amount smoked, especially
for 15 – 24 year olds, who are at most risk for starting to smoke.
