smoking status clarification for Q5

[mlenorton]

At the beginning of the assignment, we're told that we're interested in whether someone is an "ever smoker". However, for question 5, we're asked to created a table of "smoking status" versus whether the person was told the benefit of giving up cigarettes. Since "current smoking status" is another variable available in the smoking table (SMQ040). Which variable should we use in Q5? Thanks!
