Table 2.

Odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for association of restrictions with stages of smoking uptake. Odds ratios are not making comparisons with baseline level (non-susceptible non-smokers) but with previous level of smoking stage

Susceptible non-smoker threshold (95% C)I Early experimenter threshold (95% CI) Advanced experimenter threshold (95% CI) Established smoker threshold (95% CI)
Public place restrictions 0.96 (0.86 to 1.06) 0.93 (0.84 to 1.02) 0.92* (0.83 to 1.00) 0.90* (0.81 to 0.98)
Total home ban 0.64* (0.52 to 0.76) 0.69* (0.59 to 0.79) 0.71* (0.60 to 0.82) 0.78* (0.67 to 0.90)
Some home restrictions 0.83* (0.74 to 0.92) 0.83* (0.74 to 0.92)  0.83* (0.74 to 0.92)  0.83* (0.74 to 0.92)
School ban 0.92 (0.77 to 1.08) 0.98 (0.85 to 1.10)   1.07 (0.93 to 1.21) 1.22* (1.07 to 1.37)
Enforced school ban 0.89* (0.85 to 0.99) 0.89* (0.85 to 0.99)  0.89* (0.85 to 0.99)  0.89* (0.85 to 0.99)

2logL=35 559.3 (df=57), intracluster correlation=0.042, cluster variance =0.143, P<0.0001. 

Odds ratios are adjusted for school grade, sex, race, adult smokers in home, and sibling smokers; n=14 977. 

*

Odds ratio significantly different from 1.0 (P<0.05). 

Odds ratio significantly different from odds ratio at first threshold (P<0.05).
