Again, there was an inverse age pattern, with 87.2% in ROI and 82.9% in NI of those persons under 30 years of age indicating they had all their own teeth.

Health Survey Findings Smoking, Alcohol and Illicit Drugs Overall 52.5% in ROI and 50.8% in NI were current smokers, 43.5% in ROI and 38.4% in NI were regular smokers, and a further 9% in ROI and 12.4% in NI were occasional smokers. Rates in men and women were comparable in ROI but somewhat lower in women (47.8%) than men (53.9%) in NI. Rates dropped steeply in the over-65 age group. Total daily cigarette consumption was high, with a majority of smokers (67.2% in ROI and 57% in NI, reporting smoking 16 or more cigarettes per day. Overall the majority of persons who described themselves as non-smokers indicated that they had never smoked, a reasonably consistent pattern across age groups. This raises questions about the efficacy of smoking cessation strategies in the Traveller group. Table 160: Do you smoke cigarettes now?
