† Current everyday smokers. For total and gender-specific, median
time to first cigarette equals 30 minutes; 25th percentile equals 10 minutes; 75th
percentile equals 60 minutes.
‡
Among current everyday cigarette smokers who stopped smoking for one day or longer in the
past 12 months, we assess use of nicotine patch, nicotine gum, nasal spray, inhaler
and/or lozenge on the last quit attempt.
§ Advice in the past 12 months by doctor, dentist, nurse or
other health professional to quit among current everyday and some days cigarette smokers
who have seen a health professional in the past 12 months.
|| In bars and cocktail lounges, do you think that smoking
should be allowed in all areas, allowed in some areas or not allowed at all?
# Current everyday and some days smokers reporting usual
purchase by the pack in dollars (medians are slightly lower, e.g., median for total is
$3.45); if we also include purchases by the carton the average total cost per pack is
somewhat lower -- $3.19 total, $3.23 for males, and $3.15 for females (medians are
slightly lower, e.g., median for total is $3.00).
