    For more information about the survey and/or its results, please go to the Controlled Substances and Tobacco Directorate (CSTD) web site (www.gosmokefree.gc.ca)

    Note that when comparing results across different data releases of CTUMS, Health Canada advises that it is more accurate and reliable to compare results from one wave with those of other waves and to compare annual results with other annual results.

    For this reason, time series results are presented in two separate formats - by wave and by year.
