 Study members have been asked about their smoking habits at ages 20, 25, 31, 36, 43, 53, 60-64 and 68-70 years. The smoking questions distinguish between cigarettes, cigars and pipe smoking. Records are made of the ages of starting and stopping smoking and the quantities smoked.<html><br></html> Study members have been asked about their smoking habits at ages 20, 25, 31, 36, 43, 53, 60-64 and 68-70 years.

-Derived variables named //'cigsta...'// are available which describe smoking status based on cigarette smoking at ages 25, 31, 36, 43, 53, 60-64 and 68-70 years. They show whether a study member was a current smoker, an ex smoker or had never smoked at each age. <html><br></html>+Derived variables named //**'cigsta...'**// are available which describe smoking status based on cigarette smoking at ages 25, 31, 36, 43, 53, 60-64 and 68-70 years.
