CI = confidence interval; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; OR = odds ratio; SG = Surgeon General’s warning. Due to a technical error with the online survey platform, the question assessing accuracy of warning recall did not function properly for 197 Session 3 participants. These cases were removed from the analysis of recall. Thus, the analytic sample size in this table is 3163 (197 less than the overall Session 3 sample size of 3360)- Regressions control for age group and smoking status.

Significant after adjustment for multiple comparisons.
