Among men, 39.5% of respondents use such, among women – 17% (in 2023, the indicators were, respectively, 42.5% and 20%, but the difference with the current year is within the statistical margin of error).

Among the current consumers of tobacco or nicotine products, the vast majority (69%) smoke industrial cigarettes, compared to 2023, the indicator has decreased (previously, 75% chose this option, for other products compared to 2023, the indicators have changed within the margin of error).

Tobacco products for electric heating are used by 23% of respondents, electronic cigarettes – 16%, hookahs – 8%, and tobacco – 4% of respondents. The fewest respondents reported on nicotine pads – 2%.

In addition, there was a tendency for younger and middle-aged respondents to use tobacco or nicotine products more (both among men and among women). Thus, among 18-59 year olds, almost 33% use such products, among 60-69 year olds – 20.5%, and among 70+ year olds – 11%.

The use of TWEN, electronic cigarettes and hookah is more common among young respondents. The most common use of such products among 18-29 year old respondents – 45% use tobacco products for electric heating, 44% – electronic cigarettes, 21% – hookahs.

The survey was conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology from September 25 to October 8, 2024 among 2,019 respondents. Under normal circumstances, the statistical sampling error (with a probability of 0.95 and a design effect of 1.1) does not exceed: 2.4% for rates close to 50%, 2.1% for rates close to 25 or 75%, 1.5% for rates close to 10 or 90%, 1.1% for rates close to 5 or 95%, 0.5% for rates close to 1 or 99%.
