^aRecent quitters are defined as persons who were reported smoking at least once during prior interview waves and reported having quit smoking by the previous interview wave. Ever smokers are those who have reported smoking sometime in their life.

^bControl variables include age, age squared, race, gender, marital status, household income, years of education, occupation dummies, year dummies, fair/poor health, number of health conditions, job tenure, pressure to retire, preference to younger workers, and financial planning horizon. Inclusion of these time varying variables reduces the sample size of ever smokers; in particular, the variables pressure to retire and preference for younger workers are missing a number of observations.
