Egypt assessed tobacco use among young people and adults through implementation in 2009 of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) among school students aged 13-15 years and the nationally representative Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) among adults aged 15+ years. Both surveys employed cluster sampling to produce nationally representative samples and used standard core questionnaires with optional, country-specific questions. The results indicated that a higher percentage of adolescent girls in Egypt used tobacco than did adult females. Overall, 3.8% of girls aged 13-15 years used some form of tobacco compared with 0.6% of women aged 15+ years. Adolescents were over 14 times more likely than adult women to currently smoke cigarettes and 11 times more likely to smoke waterpipes. Moreover, the prevalence of cigarette smoking among adolescent girls had increased from 1.4% in the 2005 GYTS to 2.8% in 2009, indicating that social and cultural norms may be changing.
埃及通过 2009 年实施的全球青年烟草调查（GYTS）和全国代表性的全球成人烟草调查（GATS）来评估年轻人和成年人的烟草使用情况。这两项调查都采用了聚类抽样方法，以产生具有全国代表性的样本，并使用标准的核心问卷，外加可选的、针对特定国家的问题。调查结果表明，埃及少女使用烟草的比例高于成年女性。总体而言，13-15 岁女孩中使用某种形式烟草的比例为 3.8%，而 15 岁及以上女性的这一比例为 0.6%。青少年现在吸烟的可能性是成年女性的 14 倍以上，吸水烟的可能性是成年女性的 11 倍以上。此外，少女吸烟的比例从 2005 年 GYTS 的 1.4%上升到 2009 年的 2.8%，表明社会和文化规范可能正在发生变化。
