Abstract
In this presentation, I argue that conducting a critical ethnography study in different settings, as this research sets out to do (in Nigeria) is a first step to understanding the tobacco control policies that will work effectively in different resource settings. As the act of smoking becomes global, it is beneficial to study the effect of specific methods, methodology and policies in addressing smoking in the population. This particular presentation is one of three on the study of public health challenge of smoking in Nigeria, and explains the method used in collecting and analyzing data.
