Comparability
In 1992, this question was asked of sample adults who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes, either currently smoke every day or some days, and have smoked at least one day or an unknown number of days in the past 30 days. In 2000, this question was asked of sample adults who have ever smoked at least 100 cigarettes, currently smoke or current smoking status is unknown, and would like to quit completely or whose desire to quit is unknown. Aside from changes in the universe between years there are no comparability issues with this variable.
