<p>Countries use different ways to assess smoking prevalence within their population
and there is variation as to whether they include daily, weekly, or occasional smokers
within the figures. It is therefore not always possible to compare smoking prevalence
rates directly between countries. In contrast, Joossens and Raws’s Tobacco Control
Scale in Europe, which ranks the United Kingdom as number one in tobacco control activity
of 34 European countries, uses a set criteria to assess the implementation of tobacco
control policies across European countries, enabling a direct comparison to be made
between the countries of tobacco control measures.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
