Data from NHANES 2005-2006 concerning homocysteine levels in daily smokers (z=1) and never smokers (z=0), aged 20 and older. Daily smokers smoked every day for the last 30 days, smoking an average of at least 10 cigarettes per day. Never smokers smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lives, do not smoke now, and had no tobacco use in the previous 5 days.
