Description

For female persons of childbearing age who were current smokers and ever tried to quit smoking, CSOFFPSNO reports a number of units associated with a time period reported in CSOFFPSTP. Together, these two variables indicate the amount of time the respondent stayed off cigarettes the last time they stopped smoking or during their most recent serious attempt to quit. See Comparability and Universe tabs for changes in the universe between samples.
