Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS)

The Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) is a worldwide survey designed to gather information about tobacco use among young people aged 13 to 15. It helps policymakers and health officials understand how many youths are smoking, what influences their tobacco use, and how often they encounter cigarette marketing. The data collected guides efforts to reduce tobacco consumption among youth through education, policy, and prevention programs. Conducted in multiple countries, GYTS provides valuable insights into trends and risk factors, supporting global initiatives to promote healthier, tobacco-free lives for young people.
