FY2023 Smoking Environment Survey Overview

This document is the “Summary of Results” for the Survey on Smoking Environment included in the statistical information and white papers of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and covers the FY2023 survey overview. The page identifies the survey and overview document by name and provides multiple sections for accessing related information.

The source does not include specific figures from the survey results or explanations of individual findings; instead, it mainly provides statistical notes for using the data and guidance to the statistical tables and related information.

The notes on using the data specify that “—” is used when no applicable figure exists, while “0.0” is used when a figure exists but, after rounding figures below the second decimal place, the result falls below the reporting unit. Because composition ratios are rounded below the second decimal place, the total may not equal 100.0%.

The list of statistical tables is presented as a section that directs users to the e-Stat website, the government’s comprehensive statistics portal. Other sections cover terminology, examples of data use, tabulation and estimation methods, correction information, publication schedules, Q&A, past information, and other items. The contact is the Health Guidance Section, Health Division, Health Bureau, and the telephone number is 03-5253-1111, extension 2396.
