The code used to generate this data is documented in the source version of this package under `data-raw/`. This data is composed of adults aged at least 20 years. Individuals who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes but do not now smoke at least 10 cigarettes daily are excluded. Individuals with missing homocysteine values, cotinine values, or smoking information are excluded. After filtering for all these criteria, one individual with unknown education remains and is also excluded. Missing values remain in the poverty ratio and bmi covariates.
