Description
TSNUFF reports the frequency of a respondent's snuff use, and whether they have ever used snuff regularly.
This variable is part of the Tobacco Use Supplement.
Comparability
The options given for frequency of use changed in 1998. In the 1995 and 1996 samples, respondents were simply asked if they currently used snuff regularly, while in 1998 and later samples, they could respond that they used snuff every day, some days, or not at all.
In 1996 and later samples, TSNUFF is composed of two questions. In 1992 and 1993, the variable is created from four questions.
