Collection and usage attributes

In this data collection, cigarette includes manufactured cigarettes, roll-your-own cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other tobacco products.

If the person indicates that they never smoked a full cigarette but provided details on the age of first smoking and current smoking status then the person should be counted as having smoked a full cigarette.

This question has been included because it exactly matches a question in the 2007 National Drug Strategy Household Survey—"Have you ever smoked a full cigarette?"—thus enabling comparisons with the general community.
