It seems like Tobacco Use Supplement data for Sep 2022 is incomplete. I can’t find nicotine pouch data in the IPUMS files, but they are in the raw files released by Census Bureau. Any clue as to why these data are missing?
While IPUMS CPS provides many of the variables from the Tobacco Use Supplement, we do not currently offer the variables on nicotine pouches. I will share your interest in these variables with our IPUMS CPS team, who considers user needs and requests when prioritizing the addition of data to our platform. We note any new variables that are added to the database on the revision history page.
In the meantime, you might link this data from respondents in the Census Bureau file to an IPUMS CPS extract using the variables HRHHID, HRHHID2, and PULINENO (LINENO in IPUMS) as linking keys.
