title: Trends in smoking prevalence: the Kilkenny Health Project Population Surveys 1985 to 1991.
abstract: The statistics on cigarette smoking prevalence in Irish adults show that considerable progress was made during the 1970s and 1980s, with declines in men and women, and in different age and social class groupings. These trends were confirmed in population surveys carried out by the Kilkenny Health Project.
