*

Data are for three separate multiple linear regression models.

Nicotine equivalents estimated by the sum of urinary levels of total nicotine, total cotinine, and total 3′-hydroxycotinine (3-HC); expressed as nmol/mL.

Nicotine metabolite ratio is the ratio of total 3-HC to total cotinine measured in a 12-hour urine sample.

§

Caffeine metabolite ratio is the ratio of 1,7-dimethyl uric acid (17U) to 1,7-dimethylxanthine (17X) measured 5-hours after caffeine administration.
