OR odds ratio, Obs observations
Bolded estimates are statistically significant (p < 0.05)
Ns are unweighted; percentages and ORs are weighted using the Wave 5 all-waves weights for the Wave 1 Cohort
Excludes those with COPD and other non-asthma respiratory diseases
Adjusted for age (18–39 vs. 40 +), sex, race/ethnicity, education, BMI, cigarette pack years, duration of cigar use, secondhand smoke exposure, past month marijuana use, and current established use of at least one of: ENDS, pipe, hookah, smokeless tobacco, snus. Also adjusted for current established use of traditional cigars and filtered cigars. Uncontrolled asthma model also adjusted for use of asthma medications
aOverall Obs represents unadjusted model and does not take into account missingness on covariates. 9,645 observations were missing on covariates for the ever asthma adjusted model and 1,712 for the uncontrolled asthma adjusted model
