This data shows the percentage of adults (age 18 and over) who are current smokers. Smoking is the single biggest cause of preventable death and illnesses, and big inequalities exist between and within communities. Smoking is a major risk factor for many diseases, such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, bronchitis and emphysema) and heart disease. It is also associated with cancers in other organs. Smoking is a modifiable lifestyle risk factor. Preventing people from starting smoking is important in reducing the health harms and inequalities. This data is based on the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Annual Population Survey (APS). The percentage of adults is not age-standardised. In this dataset particularly at district level there may be inherent statistical uncertainty in some data values.

The PATH Study was launched in 2011 to inform the Food and Drug Administration's regulatory activities under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA). The PATH Study is a collaboration between the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study sampled over 150,000 mailing addresses across the United States to create a national sample of people who use or do not use tobacco. 45,971 adults and youth constitute the first (baseline) wave, Wave 1, of data collected by this longitudinal cohort study. These 45,971 adults and youth along with 7,207 "shadow youth" (youth ages 9 to 11 sampled at Wave 1) make up the 53,178 participants that constitute the Wave 1 Cohort. Respondents are asked to complete an interview at each follow-up wave. Youth who turn 18 by the current wave of data collection are considered "aged-up adults" and are invited to complete the Adult Interview. Additionally, "shadow youth" are considered "aged-up youth" upon turning 12 years old, when they are asked to complete an interview after parental consent. At Wave 4, a probability sample of 14,098 adults, youth, and shadow youth ages 10 to 11 was selected from the civilian, noninstitutionalized population (CNP) at the time of Wave 4. This sample was recruited from residential addresses not selected for Wave 1 in the same sampled Primary Sampling Unit (PSU)s and segments using similar within-household sampling procedures. This "replenishment sample" was combined for estimation and analysis purposes with Wave 4 adult and youth respondents from the Wave 1 Cohort who were in the CNP at the time of Wave 4. This combined set of Wave 4 participants, 52,731 participants in total, forms the Wave 4 Cohort. At Wave 7, a probability sample of 14,863 adults, youth, and shadow youth ages 9 to 11 was selected from the CNP at the time of Wave 7. This sample was recruited from residential addresses not selected for Wave 1 or Wave 4 in the same sampled PSUs and segments using similar within-household sampling procedures. This "second replenishment sample" was combined for estimation and analysis purposes with the Wave 7 adult and youth respondents from the Wave 4 Cohorts who were at least age 15 and in the CNP at the time of Wave 7. This combined set of Wave 7 participants, 46,169 participants in total, forms the Wave 7 Cohort.

This dataset combines multiple open data sets for Covid-19 cases and deaths (kaggle1), Death causes (ourworldindata1, ourworldindata2, ourworldindata3, Food sources (FAO1), Health Care System (WHO1, WHO2, WHO3), TB vaccine status (BCG1) School closures (UNESCO1), and People/Society facts (CIA1).

Death rate has been age-adjusted by the 2000 U.S. standard population. Single-year data are only available for Los Angeles County overall, Service Planning Areas, Supervisorial Districts, City of Los Angeles overall, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts.Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death in the US. People who smoke have the greatest risk of lung cancer, though lung cancer can also occur in people who have never smoked. Most cases are due to long-term tobacco smoking or exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke. Cities and communities can take an active role in curbing tobacco use and reducing lung cancer by adopting policies to regulate tobacco retail; reducing exposure to secondhand smoke in outdoor public spaces, such as parks, restaurants, or in multi-unit housing; and improving access to tobacco cessation programs and other preventive services.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

This repository contains 523 human feedback messages sent to daily smokers and vapers who were preparing to quit smoking/vaping with a virtual coach.

Study

Daily smokers and vapers recruited through the online crowdsourcing platform Prolific interacted with the text-based virtual coach Kai in up to five sessions between 1 February and 19 March 2024. The sessions were 3-5 days apart. In each session, participants were assigned a new preparatory activity for quitting smoking (e.g., listing reasons for quitting smoking, envisioning one's desired future self after quitting smoking, doing a breathing exercise). Between sessions, participants had a 20% chance of receiving a feedback message from one of two human coaches. More information on the study can be found in the Open Science Framework (OSF) pre-registration: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/78CNR. The implementation of the virtual coach Kai can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11102861.

Feedback messages

All feedback messages were written by one of two Master's students in psychology. The two human coaches were directed to craft messages incorporating feedback, argument, and either a suggestion or reinforcement. They were also instructed to connect with individuals by referencing aspects of their lives, express empathy toward those with low confidence, and provide reinforcement when people were motivated.

When writing the feedback, the human coaches had access to data on people's baseline smoking and physical activity behavior (i.e., smoking/vaping frequency, weekly exercise amount, existence of previous quit attempts of at least 24 hours, and the number of such quit attempts in the last year), introduction texts from the first session with the virtual coach, previous preparatory activity (i.e., activity formulation, effort spent on the activity and experience with it, return likelihood), current state (i.e., self-efficacy, perceived importance of preparing for quitting, human feedback appreciation), and new activity formulation. Notably, the human coaches only had access to anonymized versions of the introduction texts and activity experience responses (e.g., names were removed). Except for the free-text responses describing participants' experiences with their previous activity and their introduction texts, all of this information is provided together with the feedback messages. For the previous and new activities, we just provide the titles and not also the entire formulations that the human coaches had access to.

Before sending the messages to participants on Prolific, we added a greeting (i.e., "Best wishes, Karina & Goda on behalf of the Perfect Fit Smoking Cessation Team"), a disclaimer that the messages were not medical advice, and a link to confirm having read the message at the end. We also added "This is your feedback message from your human coaches Karina and Goda for preparing to quit [smoking/vaping]:" at the start of the message.

The human coaches approved publishing these feedback messages.

Additional data from the study

Additional data from the study such as participants' free-text descriptions of their experiences with their activities and their introductions from the first session with the virtual coach will also be published and linked to the OSF pre-registration of the study.

Tobacco smoking is one of the largest preventable causes of death and disease in Australia. In 2017-18, 13.8% of adults aged 18 years and over were daily smokers (2.6 million people), down from 14.5% in 2014-15. The decrease is a continuation of the trend over the past two decades, in 1995, 23.8% of adults were daily smokers.

Additionally the proportion of adults who have never smoked is increasing over time, from 49.4% in 2007-08 to 52.6% in 2014-15 and 55.7% in 2017-18.
