among current tobacco users who currently use one or more tobacco products.

*

Current users of non-cigarette tobacco products were defined on the basis of two questions: ever use and current someday use/current daily use. Respondents who had ever used the product and currently used it every day or some days were classified as current users. Current cigarette smokers were defined differently, relying on an additional restriction of established use (i.e., more than 100 cigarettes in lifetime). Current cigarette smokers were those respondents who had smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetimes and who currently smoke every day or some days.
