Note: All models were adjusted for time interval, treatment group, age, gender, partner status, cigarettes smoked per day, and time to first cigarette. Time interval, time to first cigarette, and age were significantly associated with smoking status. Specifically, individuals who were abstinent at time 1 (3 days post-quit) were more likely to be abstinent at time 2 (10 days post-quit) than all participants at time 1 in Models 1-5. Similarly, individuals who were abstinent at time 2 (10 days post-quit) were more likely to be abstinent at time 3 (31 days post-quit) than all participants at time 1 in Models 2 and 3. Earlier time to first cigarette in the morning (≤5 minutes) was associated with relapse in all models except for Model 1, and greater age was significantly associated with abstinence all models except for Model 2. Treatment group, gender, partner status, and cigarettes smoked per day were not significantly associated with smoking status in any of the models.
