Description
TOSNUFFN (V463D) indicates whether the woman uses snuff by nose.
TOSNUFFN is combined with TOSNUFFM (snuff by mouth) to create the variable TOSNUFF (V463E), which was standard beginning in DHS Phase 5. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using TOSNUFFN are encouraged to review TOSNUFF for this more comprehensive response category.
Comparability
TOSNUFFN (V463D) has no comparability problems.
Comparability - Standard DHS
Questions involving tobacco use are included in the standard DHS questionnaire beginning in Phase IV. TOSNUFFN (V463D) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire beginning in Phase VII.
In Phases V and VI, the standard DHS questionnaire asked about "snuff" (TOSNUFF (V463E)), without specifying the ingestion method. Users are encouraged to review the Description tab of TOSNUFFN or the Comparability tab of TOSNUFF for more information.
