CSQINHALEREV
Current smoker: Used nicotine inhaler last quitting attempt ever
Group: Quitting Smoking — PERSON

Description

PRELIMINARY VARIABLE: Variable description not yet updated.

For sample adults, CSQINHALEREV indicates whether respondents used a nicotine inhaler in their last attempt to quit smoking.

Respondents had to satisfy three conditions to receive the question associated with CSQINHALEREV (i.e., "The LAST TIME you stopped smoking, which of these methods did you use?"). First, they had to have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their entire lives (SMOKEV). Second, they had to have an affirmative (or unknown or not ascertained) response to the question of whether they currently smoked cigarettes every day or some days (SMOKFREQNOW). Third, they had to have an affirmative (or unknown or not ascertained) response to the question of whether they had ever stopped smoking "for one day or longer" while trying to quit smoking (CSSTOPEV).

CSQINHALEREV is one of a series of related variables in the "Tobacco" section of the 2000 Cancer Module. The 2000 Field Representative's Manual explains the rationale for this supplement as follows:

"[T]obacco use is the major risk factor in the development of lung cancer and oral cancer, and contributes to the development of several other cancers and diseases ... [Because of this, answers to questions about cigarette smoking] will be compared with data from 1992 to assess trends in starting and stopping cigarette smoking, and to target quit smoking programs by age, race and sex. The information on behavior and attitudes can be used to assess the effectiveness of current quit smoking campaigns and to help to develop new ones. They will also contribute follow up information to use in evaluating the effectiveness of the 'ASSIST' program, and will be useful in future planning."

Besides using a "nicotine inhaler," there were a number of other methods that current smokers could report in answer to the question, "[T]he LAST TIME you stopped smoking, which of these methods did you use?" For a full list of those methods, see the entries under 2000 in CSQBOOKEV.
2005
Questions about methods used to quit smoking were also asked in 2005, though there were important differences between the 2000 and 2005 questions. For a full list of the 2005 questions and the ways that they differ from the 2000 questions, see the entries under 2005 in CSQBOOKYR.
