Only significant variables in Supplementary Model 1 (Supplementary material) were included. Controlling for age, ethnicity, sex and all significant variables in Supplementary Model 1;

b

for continuous variables, AORs reflect the change in the odds per unit of predictor;

c

in early adolescence antisocial behavior before age 15; in adulthood since age 15; and past year between Wave 1 and Wave 2;

d

lifetime but before 12 month.

e

c-index for Model 2 represent predictability with all variables included; AOR= adjusted odds ratio; SUD= substance use disorders; ND= nicotine dependence; significant variables are bolded (p<0.05). Reference group= no smoking initiation.
