This report presents results of Waves 1 to 4 (2005 – 2009) of the ITC Malaysia Survey – a face-to-face and telephone survey of a cohort of approximately 2,000 adult smokers and, 1,000 youth smokers and non-smokers. Waves 1 to 3 also included a cohort of 1,500 adult non-smokers. The key findings contained in this report provide evidence regarding the attitudes and behaviours of adult and youth smokers and non-smokers to assist policy makers in implementing effective tobacco control policies in Malaysia.
