Note. FM = factory-made cigarettes; GEE = generalized estimated equation; RYO = roll-your-own cigarettes. All figures in the table are odds ratios adjusted for age, sex, cohort, urban/rural, income, education, ethnicity, smoking frequency, cigarettes smoked per day, and type of products smoked (RYO only vs. any FM).

*p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001; p values were adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Benjamini–Hochberg method to control the false discovery rate (Benjamini & Hochberg, 1995).
