Primary aim of the DEBRA study is to track key variables relating to patterns and trends of consumption of tabacco and electronic inhalation products (e.g., e-cigarettes, heat-not-burn products), tobacco smoking and quitting in Germany, and to provide such nationally representative data to inform tobacco control policies, cessation strategies, and future scientific studies. Data will be collected via computer-assisted household interviews at baseline.

Secondary

The secondary objective is to examine determinants of tobacco and nicotine product use, quit behaviour, and the utilisation of evidence-based cessation support.
