Description

TRYSTOP reports whether a smoker has ever tried to stop smoking for one day or more with the intention of quitting. TRYSTOP combines the responses of two separate questions from the survey. One asks if the smoker tried to stop smoking for one day or more in the last 12 months, and the second is whether or not the smoker had ever tried to stop smoking for one day or longer.

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.
