Have there been changes in daily smoking and cigarette consumption among adolescents? Investigation between 1999 and 2019 among Finnish adolescents.

Among currently smoking Finnish adolescents, the proportion of daily smokers decreased between 1999 and 2019, as did the number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) among daily smokers, suggesting an absence of 'hardening' in this group. However, differences were observed related to the odds of daily smoking and the mean number of CPD, indicating the change has been less favorable among some adolescent groups than others.
