Weighted percentage. Weighted percentages were obtained to control for complex sample design, therefore division of individual cell sizes by the total sample will not reflect weighted percentages.

Significant group differences were tested by Chi-square statistics (*Rao-Scott Chi-Square values) N-number of participants

518 used smokeless tobacco (wt%=6.2); 9137 did not use smokeless tobacco (wt%=93.8)
