Additionally, the questionnaire includes optional modules each covering the use of one of the following: electronic cigarettes, shisha, heated tobacco products (HTPs), bidis, smokeless tobacco and oral nicotine products. There are also over 300 additional optional questions countries may choose to include in their questionnaires. The questionnaire also allows countries to insert their own country-specific questions.
