For each participant, a trained interviewer used a detailed questionnaire to collect information about demographic variables, behavioural factors, family history of chronic diseases, and personal medical history. Current smoking was defined as having smoked at least 100 cigarettes in one’s life and currently smoking cigarettes. Occasional smokers were defined as currently smoking fewer than 20 cigarettes a day. Regular smokers were defined as currently smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day.
