Collection and usage attributes | |
Collection methods: | The recommended standard for collecting this information is based on the Standard Questions on the Use of Tobacco Among Adults - interviewer administered (Questions 1 and 4) and self-administered (Questions 1 and 1a) versions. The questionnaires are designed to cover persons aged 18 years and over. There is one variation to this standard. Ex-smokers are divided into those who have been ex-smokers for less than or equal to 12 months, and those who have been ex-smokers for more than 12 months. |
