Comparability

Question wording changed slightly between years. In 2005, the question asked if people had used a nicotine nasal spray, inhaler, lozenge, or tablet. In 2010 and 2015, the question asked only about a nicotine nasal spray or inhaler. Users interested in looking at the use of nicotine products for smoking cessation may wish to combine variables to increase comparability.
