title: [Prevalence and intensity of smoking among adult urban population of Tiumen': data of population mail questionnaire survey].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To estimate prevalence and intensity of smoking among adult Tyumen citizens by mail questionnaire survey.
  
  
  METHODS
  A representative sample of adult population of Tyumen (central district) was randomly selected using the list of the electors. The questioning covered a total of 3200 citizens (8 groups per 400 age- and sex-matched subjects). The response reached 71.5%. Smoking in the population was studied in three aspects: prevalence, intensity and passive smoking.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Overall prevalence of smoking was not great (28.8%), but smoking was frequent in women, especially young, was intensive in males of all the age groups. The number of smokers who had quit smoking was small. Passive smoking at jobs was prevalent.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The data of the survey indicate difficulties of social adaptation for the studied population who fall under risk to develop cardiovascular diseases.
