Description

TDENAD reports whether self-respondents had ever been advised by their dentist to stop smoking.

In 1993, some unidentified respondents also answered this question. These individuals were expected to not be in the universe; however, they were included in the original data.

This variable is part of the Tobacco Use Supplement.

Comparability

The reference period for this variable changes in 2010. Prior to 2010 respondents may report whether a dentist advised them to stop smoking in the last 12 months or ever. In 2010 forward, respondents may only report whether a dentist advised them to stop smoking in the last 12 months.
