Description
TOSNUFFM (V463H) indicates whether the woman uses snuff by mouth.
TOSNUFFM is combined with TOSNUFFN (snuff by nose) to create the variable TOSNUFF (V463E), which was standard beginning in DHS Phase 5. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using TOSNUFFM are encouraged to review TOSNUFF for this more comprehensive response category.
Comparability
TOSNUFFM (V463H) has no comparability problems.
Comparability - Standard DHS
Questions involving tobacco use are included in the standard DHS questionnaire beginning in Phase IV. TOSNUFFM (V463H) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire beginning in Phase VII.
In Phases V and VI, the standard DHS questionnaire asked about "snuff" (TOSNUFFN (V463E)), without specifying the ingestion method. Users are encouraged to review the Description tab of TOSNUFFM or the Comparability tab of TOSNUFF for more information.
