Adjusted for age and race/ethnicity (white/nonwhite). Past-year chewing tobacco use measured in the 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2001 waves. Past-year cigar smoking measured in the 2001 wave. Odds ratios of following a worse smoking trajectory were calculated with ordered logistic regression with a cumulative logit link and a multinomial distribution.
