Motivation to quit based on scale from 1 to 7 with higher values indicating stronger motivation. Average motivation is across all 4 pictorial warnings; warning specific motivation is for each individual pack image viewed. Superscript letters adjacent to means indicate significant differences at p < 0.05 in pair-wise comparisons of adjusted means between study conditions after Tukey’s post hoc adjustment. Means are adjusted for baseline motivation to quit, cigarettes smoked per/day, preferred cigarette brand, and demographics (race/ethnicity, income, employment, and marital status) based on the results of bivariate analyses.
