Abstract: This publication describes tobacco use trends in Norway from the first surveys in 1973 and up to today.

The second chapter gives an overview of the prevalence of snus use. Chapter 3 covers self-reported consumption and changes in registered tobacco sales in Norway in recent years. Smoking cessation is the focus of Chapter 4, which discusses successful attempts to quit, quit attempts among daily smokers, and the intention to quit smoking. Chapter 5 deals with passive smoking, with emphasis on the change in attitude seen since the early 1990s. The final chapter addresses the topic of smoking and social inequality, measured by educational level.
