Interviewer instructions

Write the age at which the respondent first smoked a whole cigarette. If the respondent says she has never smoked a whole cigarette in her life, then circle '00' and skip to TA6.

Note that this question is no longer about smoking one or two puffs from a cigarette, but is about smoking a whole cigarette.

It is possible that someone who has tried cigarette smoking with one or two puffs (TA1='1') will respond with a 'Never smoked a whole cigarette' to this question.
