LOINC description : Measurement to ascertain the respondent's age of initiation of first/regular use of
cigarettes, which can be used to calculate duration of use and pack-years measures.
The PhenX Working Group modified the Adult Protocol to provide a more precise measure.
The original wording of fairly regularly was changed to every day. There are two questions
in this protocol. Current Every-Day Smokers (based on responses to the Tobacco - Smoking
Status [Adult Protocol]) are asked the age when they initiated smoking every day.
Current Some-Day Smokers and Former Smokers (based on responses to the Tobacco - Smoking
Status [Adult Protocol]) are asked the second question about the age when they initiated
smoking fairly regularly. Participant's age in years is recorded.;
