Supplementary notes

* Daily smokers are classified by how many cigarettes they reported smoking per day:
The source adds the following information: "Based on household income quintile, adjusted by the before-tax low income cut-off (LICO) for the household and community size. The LICO is the threshold at which a family would typically spend a larger portion of its income than the average family on the necessities of food, shelter, and clothing. This accounts for spending power based on the family and community size." Adapted from Statistics Canada, statcan.gc.ca, 2016.
