Description

For sample adults age 18 and older who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes and have not smoked in at least the past 30 days, FSQCOLDTURKEV indicates whether respondents stopped all at once ("cold turkey") to quit smoking completely. Please see the Universe tab for detailed information about who was asked this question.

Comparability

Changes in survey design (e.g., quarters in which the supplement was collected) may affect raw frequencies, but do not affect comparability of the variable. As always, data users should use the prescribed IPUMS NHIS weights.
