  • *Adjusted P values are regression models adjusting for the following covariates based on baseline differences including: baseline daily versus not daily smoker, number of cigarettes smoked on the days you smoked, confidence in being smoke free in the next 6 months, stage of change, time to first cigarette (< vs ≥ 30 minutes), BMI, and self-identified race (Pacific Islander/Native Hawaiian vs else).
