Occupation categories in China differed from those of other LMICs. Five occupation categories were considered for China and hence have not been presented in this table for maintaining uniformity.
In Brazil, education categories were defined differently and were incomparable to those from other GATS countries.
In Uruguay, there were no current smokeless tobacco users in the study population.
In Romania, the category ‘Primary’ for the education variable contained only 1 case and hence, was merged with the category ‘Secondary’. Moreover, the study sample in Romania contained only six cases of current smokeless tobacco users which constituted a negligible proportion and hence has not been presented in the table.
In Russian Federation and Ukraine, the category ‘Primary’ for the education variable contained only 10 and 8 cases respectively and hence, were merged with the category ‘Secondary’.
In Turkey, no data was available on current smokeless tobacco use from the GATS survey.
