"Information about cigarette smoking in the National Health Interview Survey is obtained for adults age 18 and over. Although there has been some variation in question wording, smokers continue to be defined as people who have ever smoked 100 cigarettes and currently smoke. Starting in 1993, current smokers are identified based on “yes” responses to the following two questions: “Have you smoked at least 100 cigarettes in your entire lifefi” and “Do you now smoke cigarettes every day, some days, or not at allfi” (revised definition). People who smoked 100 cigarettes and who now smoke every day or some days are defined as current smokers. Before 1992, current smokers were identified based on positive responses to the following two questions: “Have you smoked at least 100 cigarettes in your entire lifefi” and “Do you smoke nowfi” (traditional definition). In 1992, cigarette smoking data were collected for a half-sample with half the respondents (a one-quarter sample) using the traditional smoking questions and the other half of respondents (a one-quarter sample) using the revised smoking question. An unpublished analysis of the 1992 traditional smoking measure revealed that the crude percentage of current smokers age 18 and over remained the same as 1991. The statistics reported for 1992 combined data collected using the traditional and the revised questions. The information obtained from the two smoking questions listed above is combined to create the variables represented in Tables 26a and 26b on pages 99 and 100."
