Tobacco Use

 

Percentage of women and men who smoke various tobacco products

 

Definition

 

Percentage of women and men age 15-49 who smoke various tobacco products:

1)      Cigarettes

2)      Other types of tobacco

3)      Any type of tobacco

 

Coverage:

Population base: Women and men age 15-49 (IR file, MR file)

Calculation

 

Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.

 

Handling of Missing Values

 

Missing data on whether smoked each type of tobacco are assumed to be non-use of the type of tobacco and are excluded from the numerator, but included in the denominator.

 

Notes and Considerations

 

Smoking cigarettes includes smoking manufactured cigarettes, hand-rolled cigarettes and kreteks.

 

Changes over Time

 

DHS-VI and earlier surveys asked less detailed questions about current smoking status, forms of tobacco smoked, and daily/weekly frequency of smoking tobacco.

 

DHS-VI and earlier surveys also reported smoking tobacco in pipes separately from other tobacco, which included smokeless tobacco.

Average number of cigarettes smoked per day

 

Definition

 

Among men age 15-49 who smoke cigarettes daily, percent distribution by average number of cigarettes smoked per day.

 

Coverage:

Population base: Men age 15-49 (MR file)

Time period: Current status at time of survey

 

Numerator: Number of men age 15-49 who smoke cigarettes daily by number of cigarettes smoked (<5, 5-9, 10-14, 15-24, 25+) (mv464a + mv464b + mv464c – see Calculation)

Denominator: Number of men age 15-49 who smoke cigarettes daily (mv484a + mv484b + mv484c > 0 – see Calculation)

 

Variables: MR file.

mv463aa

Frequency smokes cigarettes

mv464a

On average respondent smokes daily: manufactured cigarettes

mv464b

On average respondent smokes daily: hand rolled cigarettes

mv464c

On average respondent smokes daily: kreteks

mv005

Men's sample weight

 

Calculation

 

Numerators: The total number of cigarettes smoked daily is calculated by adding mv484a + mv484b + mv484c, treating any special codes such as 888 (not every day) as zero cigarettes. The total number of cigarettes is then grouped into the categories (<5, 5-9, 10-14, 15-24, 25+).

 

Denominator: Men are counted in the denominator if the total number of cigarettes smoked daily calculated above is greater than zero.

 

Numerator divided by denominator, multiplied by 100.

 

Handling of Missing Values

 

Missing data on the number of cigarettes of each type is treated as zero cigarettes of that type.

 

Changes over Time

 

DHS-VI and earlier surveys asked men who had said that they currently smoked cigarettes the number of cigarettes they had smoked in the past 24 hours and reported that response, instead of the average number of cigarettes smoked per day.

Numerators:

1)      Number of women (or men) age 15-49 who currently use smokeless tobacco, according to type of tobacco product:

a)       Snuff, by mouth (women: v463h = 1; men: mv464h in 1:888 or mv484h in 1:888)

b)      Snuff, by nose (women: v463d = 1; men: mv464i in 1:888 or mv484i in 1:888)

Calculation

 

Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.

 

Handling of Missing Values

 

Missing data on use of types of smokeless tobacco are treated as non-use of that type of tobacco and are excluded from the numerators.

 

Notes and Considerations

 

The indicators include women and men who use smokeless tobacco daily or occasionally (less than daily).

 

The indicator for use of any type of tobacco includes all types of smokeless tobacco listed above plus cigarettes, kreteks, pipes, cigars, cheroots, cigarillos, water pipes, and any other types of tobacco use included in the survey.

 

Changes over Time

 

DHS-VI and earlier surveys asked less detailed questions about current use of smokeless tobacco, forms of smokeless tobacco smoked, and daily/weekly frequency of consumption of smokeless tobacco.

 

DHS-VI and earlier surveys did not separately report smokeless tobacco.
