β: Regression Coefficient (adjusted)

1

Linear regressions adjusted for age, education, locality, state and form of purchase

2

Linear regressions adjusted for locality, state and form of purchase (age and education were not included in the regression model for bidis as they were found not be associated with ‘price’ and ‘consumption’ at univariate level)
