Computation description: | Daily smoking: Currently smokes tobacco, including one or more manufactured (packet) cigarettes, roll-your-own cigarettes, cigars or pipes, per day. This excludes chewing tobacco, electronic cigarettes (and similar), nicotine patches and smoking of non-tobacco products. Rates are directly age-standardised to the 2001 Australian population. Presented as a percentage. 95% confidence intervals and relative standard errors are calculated for rates. Rate ratios are derived by dividing the age-standardised rate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by the age-standardised rate for non-Indigenous people. |

Comments: | Most recent data available for 2022 National Healthcare Agreement performance reporting: 2017–18 (total population, non-Indigenous: NHIH); 2018–19 (Indigenous only: NATSIHS). NO NEW DATA FOR 2022 REPORTING Baseline: 2007–08 (total population); 2008 (Indigenous status). National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey (NATSISS) or National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey (NATSIHS)/Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey (AATSIHS) data may be used for analysis, dependent upon which survey is most recent. Data for non-Indigenous people are from a pooled data set — the NHIH. For the 2017–18 NHS cycle, the smoking questionnaire module was used in both the NHS and the 2017–18 SIH to produce a larger sample size for more accurate smoker status estimates. While the NHIH was a national sample, the sample size for the Indigenous population was too small to allow for reliable estimates for the Indigenous population. Thus, for Indigenous and non-Indigenous comparisons, data for the non-Indigenous population are obtained from the NHIH (2017–18) while data for the Indigenous population are obtained from the NATSIHS (2018–19). The non-Indigenous data are obtained by excluding information pertaining to the Indigenous population from the NHIH. Data for the non-Indigenous population in the Northern Territory should be interpreted with caution as the NHS excludes Very Remote areas and discrete Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These exclusions are unlikely to affect national estimates, and will only have a minor effect on aggregate estimates produced for individual states and territories, excepting the Northern Territory where around 20% of the population lived in Very Remote areas in the 2017–18 reporting period. For the 2017–18 NHS and the 2018–19 NATSIHS, age standardised 95% confidence intervals and RSEs are not available. Please refer to associated crude 95% confidence intervals and RSEs. Further details on smoking rates among Indigenous Australians are available from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Performance Framework (measure 2.03: Environmental tobacco smoke and measure 2.15: Tobacco use). |
