Description

TRYQUIT reports whether a smoker has ever tried to quit smoking completely. TRYQUIT combines the responses of two separate questions from the survey. One asks if the smoker tried to quit smoking completely in the last 12 months, and the second is whether or not the smoker had ever tried to quit smoking completely.

This variable is part of the Tobacco Use Supplement.

Comparability

In May 2011, the question about having ever attempted to quit smoking was not asked. Thus, TRYQUIT only includes responses pertaining to the last 12 months in this sample.
