97% of the New Zealand population 15 years and over (2.1 million persons) responded to a question on cigarette smoking in the 1976 population census. 38% of New Zealand men and 30% of women other than Maoris or Pacific Islanders were cigarette smokers. 56% of Maori men and 59% of Maori women smoked regularly; the corresponding figures for Pacific Islanders, a relatively recent migrant population, were 46% and 24%. In all age groups more Maoris smoked than non-Maoris. More than two-thirds of Maori women aged 20-24 were smokers. Cigarette consumption rates were high; the men and over one third of the women smokers smoked more than 20 cigarette a day. Smoking was higher then expected among Roman Catholics and among those who objected to stating their religion. Those who were divorced or separated had smoking rates 38% to 56% higher than expected. Smoking was inversely related to the level of education attained. Those in the professions were least likely to be smokers (average 27%) whereas at least half those in labouring or unskilled occupations were smokers.
在1976年人口普查中，97%的新西兰15岁及以上人口（210万人）回答了有关吸烟的问题。新西兰非毛利族或太平洋岛民的男性中有38%吸烟，女性中有30%吸烟。56%的毛利族男性和59%的毛利族女性经常吸烟；相对较新的移民群体太平洋岛民的相应比例为46%和24%。在所有年龄组中，吸烟的毛利人都比非毛利人多。20至24岁的毛利族女性中，超过三分之二是吸烟者。香烟消费率很高；男性吸烟者和超过三分之一的女性吸烟者每天吸烟超过20支。罗马天主教徒以及那些反对表明其宗教信仰的人中吸烟率高于预期。离婚或分居者的吸烟率比预期高38%至56%。吸烟与所受教育程度呈负相关。从事专业工作的人吸烟的可能性最小（平均为27%），而从事体力劳动或非技术职业的人中至少有一半是吸烟者。
