a

Cells represent column percentages. 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.

b

Defined as having smoked tobacco from a hookah in the last 30 days at least once.

c

Defined as all participants who did not state that they were definitely not planning on smoking hookah tobacco in the future.

d

Only hookah non-smokers were included in these analyses. The overall N was 725 instead of 736 because 11 non-smokers had missing data for the intention item.

e

For chi-square analyses.
