| Data are from the US Department of Commerce, Census Bureau, National Cancer Institute Sponsored Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey, 1992–1999. | ||||
| The matched health sample refers to a roughly 1 of 6 random sub-sample for whom extended survey data on health status were available. | ||||

| All models also control for age, education, race, ethnicity, marital status, number of children, occupation, industry, metropolitan statistical area, state, and month/year. | ||||
| Column (a) displays the p value for the test of significance of the odds ratio (OR) relative to the referent “never smoker”. | ||||
