†95% CIs for the rate of decline in cigarettes/day/year. The rate of decline is statistically significant for all state‐age groups because they do not include the null value, except for smokers 50–64 years of age in TGS.
‡p Value is indicative of whether the rate of decline is significantly different than for CA (as the reference state).
