SHARE_SMO_STAT_CURR

SMO_STAT_CURR is derived from SHARE variables br001 and br002

BR001_EVER SMOKED DAILY
The following questions are about smoking and drinking alcoholic
beverages. Have you ever smoked cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos or a
pipe daily for a period of at least one year?
1. Yes
5. No

BR002_SMOKE AT THE PRESENT TIME
Do you smoke at the present time?
1. Yes
5. No, I have stopped

NSWEDEN_SMO_STAT_CURR

IF SM_STATUS=3 THEN SMO_STAT_CURR=1;

IF SM_STATUS=4 THEN SMO_STAT_CURR=2;

IF SM_STATUS=1 THEN SMO_STAT_CURR=3;

IF SMO_STAT_CURR=. THEN SMO_STAT_CURR=9;

SM_STATUS, see variable list

MORGAM_SMO_STAT_CURR

The SMO_STAT_CURR variable is derived from MORGAM variables CIGS, CIGARSM and PIPESM:

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

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

If CIGS = 1 or CIGARSM = 1 or PIPESM = 1, SMO_STAT_CURR = 3 (yes, daily).
If CIGS = 3 or CIGARSM = 3 or PIPESM = 3, SMO_STAT_CURR = 2 (yes, occasionally).
If CIGS = 2 or CIGARSM = 2 or 4 or PIPESM = 2 or 4, SMO_STAT_CURR = 1 (no).
If CIGS = 9 and CIGARSM = 9 and PIPESM = 9, SMO_STAT_CURR = 9 (missing).

EPIC_SMO_STAT_CURR

The variables SMO_CIGAR, SMO_CIG, SMO_PIPE, SMO_STAT_DAILY were used for the production of SMO_STAT_CURR according to the following definition and rule.

Var definition(s):
SMO_CIGAR: current cigar smoking status (0=no, 1=yes, 9=missing)

SMO_CIG: current cigarettes or cigarillos smoking status (0=no, 1=yes, 9=missing)

SMO_PIPE: current pipe smoking status (0=no, 1=yes, 9=missing)

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

Coding rule:
Variable SMO_STAT_CURR shows the current smoking status of any tobaco products. Is equal to 3 if the person is either smoking cigars (SMO_CIGAR=1) or cigarettes or cigarillos(SMO_CIG=1) or pipes (SMO_PIPE=1). Otherwise if the person is neither smoking cigars (SMO_CIGAR=0) nor cigarettes nor cigarillos(SMO_CIG=0) nor pipes (SMO_PIPE=0) then SMO_STAT_CUR is equal to 1.

Otherwise SMO_STAT_CURR is coded as missing.

Coding rule in STATA:
-gen SMO_STAT_CURR = 3 if SMO_CIGAR==1 | SMO_CIG==1 | SMO_PIPE==1

-replace SMO_STAT_CURR = 1 if SMO_CIGAR==0 & SMO_CIG==0 & SMO_PIPE==0

-replace SMO_STAT_CURR = 9 if SMO_STAT_DAILY==9
