a All percentages in this table are 'cell percentages'. Percentages
are based on the group defined simultaneously by the row and
column headings. Thus for example 8% of Indian men in the lowest
income tertile households use chewing tobacco.
b The sample base for these categories is too small
for results to be shown.
