Consumers of illicit tobacco in West Yorkshire (UK): A repeated cross-sectional analysis of novel epidemiological data

If the consumption of illicit tobacco is to be successfully targeted by public health intervention, a sound understanding of its epidemiological profile is key. Our findings suggest a clear patterning of illicit tobacco consumption along various sociodemographic dimensions and relay important information on the motivations for, and attitudes towards, illicit tobacco use. As such, our findings have important implications for the development of targeted interventional strategies.
