A total of 2453 smokers were interviewed in townships over two rounds of data collection. Townships are low-income, urban areas characterised by overpopulation, poor service delivery, crime, and poor socioeconomic outcomes. Township residents typically live in poverty. Data were collected from six townships in four of South Africa's nine provinces, namely Gauteng (Eldorado Park and Ivory Park), Western Cape (Khayelitsha and Mitchell's Plain), Free State (Thabong) and KwaZulu-Natal (Umlazi). These townships were chosen to represent both the geographical and racial spread of low socioeconomic areas in South Africa. Round 1 data ( = 1260) were collected from October to November 2017, and round 2 data ( = 1193) were collected from July to August 2018. The sample includes two of South Africa's four population groups: African and mixed race (locally referred to as "Coloured", which describes people of mixed Khoisan, Malay, European, and black African ancestry). Since few Whites and Asians live in townships, they were not sampled. Households were selected via a random walk through each township. One smoker per household was interviewed (if a household contained at least one available smoker). We aimed to interview 200 adult smokers (aged 18+ years) per township per round. If a household had more than one smoker, a random selection determined which smoker to interview. Respondents were asked about their most recent cigarette purchase, specifically packaging type (single stick, pack, or carton), number of items purchased, brand, type of outlet where the cigarettes were bought, and the total amount paid for cigarettes. Respondents were also asked about other tobacco use in the household, and about their perceptions regarding illegal cigarettes. Socioeconomic and demographic information was collected at the individual and household level. The data has been used to estimate illicit trade (https://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/early/2020/03/10/tobaccocontrol-2019-055136.info), and to analyse the determinants of smoking intensity (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211335520300590).
在两轮数据收集过程中，共对2453名吸烟者进行了访谈。这些城区是低收入城市地区，其特点是人口过剩、服务提供差、犯罪率高以及社会经济状况不佳。城区居民通常生活贫困。数据收集自南非九个省中四个省的六个城区，即豪登省（埃尔多拉多公园和象牙公园）、西开普省（凯伊利沙和米切尔平原）、自由州（萨邦）和夸祖鲁 - 纳塔尔省（乌姆拉齐）。选择这些城区是为了代表南非社会经济低水平地区的地理和种族分布情况。第一轮数据（n = 1260）于2017年10月至11月收集，第二轮数据（n = 1193）于2018年7月至8月收集。样本包括南非四个人口群体中的两个群体：非洲人和混血人种（当地称为“有色人种”，指具有科伊桑、马来、欧洲和黑非洲混合血统的人）。由于很少有白人和亚洲人居住在城区，因此未对他们进行抽样。通过在每个城区随机走访来选择家庭。每个家庭访谈一名吸烟者（如果一个家庭至少有一名现有的吸烟者）。我们的目标是每轮在每个城区访谈200名成年吸烟者（年龄在18岁及以上）。如果一个家庭有多名吸烟者，则通过随机选择来确定访谈哪一名吸烟者。受访者被问及他们最近购买香烟的情况，具体包括包装类型（单支、包或条）、购买数量、品牌、购买香烟的店铺类型以及购买香烟支付的总金额。受访者还被问及家庭中的其他烟草使用情况以及他们对非法香烟的看法。在个人和家庭层面收集了社会经济和人口统计信息。这些数据已用于估计非法贸易（https://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/early/2020/03/10/tobaccocontrol-2019-055136.info），并分析吸烟强度的决定因素（https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211335520300590）。
