Smoking History / Status
Current Smoking Consumption History / Status. Data derived by DM team from GenQ Qs on smoking as follows: for GQVersion1 code 1 applies to (ever smoke (ES) - other and smokes daily(D) - no and occasionally(O) - no); code 2 to (ES - yes and D - no and O - no); code 3 to (ES - yes and D -other and O - other); code 4 to either (ES - yes and (D - yes or O - yes) or (ES - no and (D - yes or O - yes); code 9 to (ES - no and (D - yes or O - yes). For GQversion 2 3 and 4 code 1 applies to (ES - other and current (C) - no); code 2 to (ES - yes and C- no); code 3 to (ES - yes and C - other); code 4 to either (ES - yes and C - yes) or (ES - other and C - yes); code 9 to either (ES - no and C - other) or (ES - other and C - other). If number of cigarettes/ cheroots/ cigars and/ or tobacco >0 then this category gets adjusted automatically. The data in this variable is slightly different from data in gq_sm_DER since different definitions for the answers have been applied.
