* Based on the 2003 TUSCS-CPS questions:
a) Have you smoked at least 100 cigarettes in your entire life?; and
b) Do you now smoke cigarettes every day, some days, or not at all?
† Current = Every Day + Some Days
‡ In the 2003 CPS, multiple races were allowed. Here "White"
equals non-Hispanic, only White race reported; "Black" equals non-Hispanic, only Black
race reported; "American Indian/Alaska Native" equals non-Hispanic, only American
Indian/Alaska Native race reported; "Asian/Pacific Islander" equals non-Hispanic, only
Asian/Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islander race reported; "2 or more races reported"
equals non-Hispanic, 2 or more races reported. Note more than half of this last category is
composed of non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Natives also reporting one or more other
races. Also, non-Hispanic Asian/Native Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islanders reporting some
other race(s) make up the next largest subcategory within this grouping (mainly the Native
Hawaiian & Other Pacific Islanders).
§ For analysis involving educational level, only respondents
25 or older are included,
as many respondents between 18 and 24 have not yet completed formal education/training.
