In 2002, the health promotion unit re-commissioned the next phase of the national health and lifestyle surveys, with a larger population sample, which my colleague the Minister for Health and Children is currently launching. Some positive trends are emerging from this second survey. The top-line indications show that, across almost all demographic categories, smoking rates have fallen, but this trend has been most marked among girls and young women, a key target for our recent anti-smoking initiatives and an area of concern to us. The overall rate of smoking in schoolgoing children has fallen. While overall exposure to tobacco smoke is down, the rates of exposure at work and in licensed premises and clubs remain high.
