Notes: SID (smoking-induced deprivation) was measured with the question “In the last 30 days, has there been a time when the money you spent on cigarettes resulted in not having enough money for any of these items: housing, food, household utilities, health care, transportation, personal hygiene items, or necessary clothing?”
Entertainment, food and home goods tied for fourth place among participants with SID (each were reported by 33 participants).
Education and health care tied for 10th place among people with SID (each were reported by eight participants).
