Description
TDOCAD reports whether self-respondents had ever been advised by their doctor to stop smoking.
In 1992 and 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 medical doctor advised them to stop smoking in the last 12 months or ever. In 2010 forward, respondents may only report whether a medical doctor advised them to stop smoking in the last 12 months.
