Description
For sample persons age 18 and older, CSQGUMEV indicates if, during the last time the person stopped smoking, she/he used nicotine-containing gum, such as Nicorette. Please see Comparability and Universe tabs for complete information on changes in universe between samples.
Comparability
In 1992, this question was asked of sample persons who have ever smoked at least 100 cigarettes, currently smoke every day, and have ever stopped smoking for at least one day for a reason other than because of sickness.
In 2000, this question was asked of sample adults who have ever smoked at least 100 cigarettes, currently smoke or whose current smoking status is unknown, and have tried to quit smoking for at least 1 day or it is unknown if she/he ever tried to quit smoking for at least 1 day.
In 1992, this question was asked in Quarters 1, 2, and in 2 weeks of Quarter 3. Changes in survey design affect raw frequencies but do not affect comparability between samples. As always, data users should apply prescribed IPUMS NHIS weights. Aside from changes in the universe between years there are no comparability issues with this variable.
