Number of cigarettes smoked daily (quartiles) | QFT conversion | P value |
---|---|---|
0–5 | 13/30 (43.3) |
0.716 |
6–10 | 16/36 (44.4) | |
11–15 | 15/37 (40.5) | |
16+ | 8/26 (30.8) |
*P value for the difference in QFT conversion at 18 months across quartiles was generated using the Pearson's χ 2 test.
