Good evening,

I am conducting a study using the variables V463A and MV463A, which are defined as "currently smokes cigarettes" (for women and men, respectively). What definition of "current cigarette use" do the DHS questionnaires use? For example, do they ask study participants if they have smoked in the past 24 hours, or in the past 30 days, or at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime, etc.?
