Abstract



Context


The intensity of smoking, not just prevalence, is associated with future health consequences.



Objective


To estimate smoking intensity patterns over time and by age within birth cohorts for California and the remaining United States.



Design, Setting, and Participants


Two large population-based surveys with state estimates: National Health Interview Surveys, 1965-1994; and Current Population Survey Tobacco Supplements, 1992-2007. There were 139 176 total respondents for California and 1 662 353 for the remaining United States.



Main Outcome Measure


Number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD), high-intensity smokers (≥20 CPD); moderate-intensity smokers (10-19 CPD); low-intensity smokers (0-9 CPD).
