a

NNAL = 4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-Pyridyl)-1-Butanol; total includes its glucuronides.

b

PheT = r-1,t-2,3,c-4-tetrahydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrophenanthrene

c

OR = odds ratio

d

Represents OR associated with a unit standard deviation increase

e

Represents OR associated with a 10-year increase in smoking duration
