Note. Smoke frequency = # days smoked in the past month; Quantity = # cigarettes smoking on days smoked in the past month; mFTQ= Modified Fagerstrom Tolerance Questionnaire.

Within each smoking measure at each time point, mean values with shared alphabetic superscripts signify nonsignificant pairwise comparisons; all other pairwise comparisons were significant at p < .05.
