摘要
The relationship between smoking behaviour and self-evaluated health status is investigated from several different perspectives. Separate models are developed to study the simultaneous relationships between health status and whether a person currently smokes, has quit, and the number of cigarettes consumed. The models indicate that current smokers have lower odds of being in good health than nonsmokers and the odds favouring good health are higher for those who have never smoked than for ex-smokers. No evidence was found that ex-smokers have higher odds of having good health than current smokers.
