1-20 cigarettes or more/day

2

at least a couple times a week or daily

3

a couple times in a month to at least once in a couple months. All analysis adjusted for demographics (sex, age), multivariate analyses adjusted also for baseline risk behaviors and other psychopathology. In multivariate analysis, users at baseline (daily smokers, smokeless tobacco users, illicit drug users and subjects with alcohol use disorders) were excluded from the analysis.
