3.14.1 - Historical Data Needed

[JulienSTC]

• [x] Indicator number updated from 3.13.1 to 3.14.1

• [x] Indicator name updated to

EN: Percentage of Canadians (age 18+) who currently smoke cigarettes FR: Pourcentage des Canadiens (âgés de 18 ans et plus) qui fument actuellement des cigarettes

• [x] Updated metadata are available in the folder.

Changes needed:

• [x] Update indicator name in the goal page, indicator name in the indicator page and the graph title to: Percentage of Canadians (aged 18+) who currently smoke cigarettes - sorry, my mistake, I missed the "d" in age
• [x] Update the default series to be Total, 18 years and over to align with the new title and target - I will contact subject matter to see which data are best to use to get 18+ historically
• [x] Remove the two series for age groups below 18 (Total, 12 years and over + 12 to 17 years), make the "Total, 18 years and over" series the default one
• [x] Switch graph type to Bar
• [x] Remove the progress measure for now until we obtain updated historical data
• [ ] I will contact SMEs to ask about availability of historical data for the main series

SME confirm a new table will be published on October 2nd.

The table referenced below is our main CCHS indicator table, which was designed for the survey as of 2015, which did cover 12+. However, for 2023, the survey has eliminated coverage of youth and will be adult (18+) only going forward. To assist users with the trend, we did introduce the 18+ total for 2022 when we released last year, but left all of the youth estimates and footnote definitions as “population aged 12 and older…”. This was a bit confusing for some users and so we have decided to rebuild the whole table and will be releasing a new CCHS main indicators table at the time of the release of the 2023 cycle, which will be produced to cover 2015 to 2022 for the adult population. The release date is October 2nd. When the new table is published, it will be under 13-10-0905.
