Smoking had a more serious effect on having chronic illness in males from the countryside (former-smoker OR = 2.764, 95% CI 2.471 - 3.092) than in town (former-smoker OR = 2.112, 95% CI 1.844 - 2.419). Smokers at the lowest income level had a higher possibility of having chronic illness (town OR = 2.076, 95% CI 1.551 - 2.780; countryside OR = 2.903, 95% CI 2.248 - 3.749) than those at the highest income level (town OR = 1.785, 95% CI 1.285 - 2.479 in the countryside OR = 2.466, 95% CI 1.941 - 3.134).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Smoking might cause more serious health problems to people at lower income level in China.</p>
