Description
For sample adults age 18 and over who ever used snuff at least 20 times in their entire life SNUFFXDAY provides the number of times per day the respondent used it when they would use it.
The term "snuff" was respondent defined. The 1987 Field Representative's Manual defined snuff as, "a smokeless tobacco product that is either inhaled through the nostrils or placed in the mouth between the cheeks and gum or under the tongue. A common term for snuff use is "dipping." It added that this definition was for the interviewer's information only, and the term snuff should only be defined for the respondent if questioned. It also instructed interviewers to record, "DK Snuff" if the respondent reported they did not know what snuff was and to accept other brands of snuff as well as those given as examples.
The 1992 Manual also mentions that using snuff includes sniffing it or just placing it in the mouth.
