*
Data do not always sum to total sample sizes because of missing data. Percentages are based on the total for each category and may not total 100 due to rounding.
†
Chi-square analyses comparing athletes vs. non-athletes (e.g., varsity sports participants vs. those who did not participate in varsity athletics).
‡
Total N for this table is slightly smaller compared with the previous table (8728 vs. 8745) since 17 participants did not respond to cigarette smoking items.
