SHARE_SMO_NUMTOBAC

SMO_NUMTOBAC is based on SHARE variables br007 and br008

BR007_ AVERAGE AMOUNT OF PIPES PER DAY
How many pipes [do/did] [you/you] [smoke/smoke] on average per day?
___________ (0..120)

BR008_ AVERAGE AMOUNT OF CIGARS PER DAY
How many cigars or cigarillos [do/did] [you/you] [smoke/smoke] on average per day?
___________ (0..120)

Asked only in wave 1 and 2.


MORGAM_SMO_NUMTOBAC

SMO_NUMTOBAC is derived from MORGAM variables CIGS, NUMCIGS, PIPE, CIGAR, PIPESM and CIGARSM:

CIGS
"Do you smoke cigarettes now?"
1 = yes, regularly
2 = no
3 = occasionally
9 = insufficient data

NUMCIGS
"On average how many cigarettes do you now smoke a day?" Record the number of cigarettes a day.
888 if CIGS =2
999 = insufficient data

CIGARSM
"Have you ever smoked cigars/cigarillos?"
1 = now smoke regularly
2 = no
3 = now smoke occasionally (less than one/day)
4 = used to, but not now
9 = insufficient data

CIGAR
"About how many cigars/cigarillos do you smoke per week?" Record the number.
888 if CIGARSM = 2 or 4
999 = insufficient data

PIPESM
"Have you ever smoked a pipe?"
1 = now smoke regularly
2 = no
3 = now smoke occasionally (less than once a day)
4 = used to, but not now
9 = insufficient data

PIPE
"About how many grams of pipe tobacco do you smoke per week?" Record the number of grams. (1 ounce = 30 grams)
888 if PIPESM = 2 or 4
999 = insufficient data


We define first intermediate variables TOBAC1, TOBAC2 and TOBAC3:
("n" denotes any value which is at least 0 but less than 888 (i.e. 0≤n<888))


TOBAC1:

NUMCIGS CIGS=1 CIGS=2
CIGS=3
CIGS=9
n TOBAC1 = n
TOBAC1 = 0
TOBAC1 = n
TOBAC1 = n
888 TOBAC1 = 9999 TOBAC1 = 0 TOBAC1 = 0
TOBAC1 = 9999
999 TOBAC1 = 9999 TOBAC1 = 0 TOBAC1 = 0
TOBAC1 = 9999


TOBAC2:

PIPE PIPESM=1 PIPESM=2
PIPESM=3
PIPESM=3 PIPESM=9
n TOBAC2 = n/7
TOBAC2 = 0
TOBAC2 = n/7
TOBAC2 = 0 TOBAC2 = n/7
888 TOBAC2 = 9999 TOBAC2 = 0 TOBAC2 = 0
TOBAC2 = 0 TOBAC2 = 0
999 TOBAC2 = 9999 TOBAC2 = 0 TOBAC2 = 0
TOBAC2 = 0 TOBAC2 = 0


TOBAC3:

CIGAR CIGARSM=1 CIGARSMS=2
CIGARSM=3
CIGARSM=3 CIGARSM=9
n TOBAC3 = 3n/7
TOBAC3 = 0
TOBAC3 = 3n/7
TOBAC3 = 0 TOBAC3 =3 n/7
888 TOBAC3 = 9999 TOBAC3 = 0 TOBAC3 = 0
TOBAC3 = 0 TOBAC3 = 0
999 TOBAC3 = 9999 TOBAC3 = 0 TOBAC3 = 0
TOBAC3 = 0 TOBAC3 = 0


If none of TOBAC1, TOBAC2 or TOBAC3 is missing, then SMO_NUMTOBAC=TOBAC1+TOBAC2+TOBAC3. Otherwise, SMO_NUMTOBAC=9999(missing).



EPIC_SMO_NUMTOBAC

The variables n_cigars, n_pipe, n_cigarettes, SMOKE_STAT_DAILY were used for the production of SMO_NUMTOBAC according to the following definition and rule.

var definition(s):

n_cigars: EPIC elderly Greece variable showing number of cigars smoked per day (is equal to N_CIGARS/7)

n_pipe: EPIC elderly Greece variable showing number of pipes smoked per day (is equal to N_PIPE/7)

n_cigarettes: EPIC elderly Greece variable showing number of cigarettes smoked per day (is equal to N_CIGRET/7)

SMOKE_STAT_DAILY: current daily smoking status (1=never daily smoker , 2=former daily smoker, 3=daily smoker, 9=unknown)

Coding rule:
Variable SMO_NUMTOBAC shows amount (in grams) of currently smoked tobacco per day. Is produced from the formula (5*number of cigars per day) + number of cigarettes per day + (5*number of pipes per day) **

If the person has been a former (SMOKE_STAT_DAILY=2) or a never daily smoker (SMOKE_STAT_DAILY=1) then SMO_NUMTOBAC is equal to 0.

Otherwise SMO_NUMTOBAC is coded as missing (9999).

Coding rule in STATA:
-gen SMO_NUMTOBAC = (5*n_cigars) + n_cigarettes + (5*n_pipe)

-replace SMO_NUMTOBAC = 0 if SMOKE_STAT_DAILY==1 | SMOKE_STAT_DAILY==2

-recode SMO_NUMTOBAC = 9999 if SMO_STAT_DAILY==9

**1 cigar equals 5 grams of tobacco, 1 cigarette equals 1, 1 pipe equals 5 grams.
