| 1. | Data source: Statistics Canada, National Population Health Survey, 1994/95 and 1998/99, longitudinal sample, health file |
| 2. | Population aged 12 and over who smoked in one survey cycle but had quit by a subsequent survey cycle. |
| 3. | Population, age and province are based on the first survey cycle. |
| 4. | In 1994/95, some respondents reported that they were current smokers. However, in 1996/97, these same respondents reported that they were never-smokers. Due to this reporting inconsistency, the groupings may not total 100%. |
| 5. | Data with sampling variability (coefficient of variation) of greater than 33.3% were suppressed (- -); therefore, numbers in various aggregations may not sum to the totals. |
