a Odds ratio adjusted for age, frequency of smoking urge in past month, intensity of smoking urge in past 24 hours, and days of abstinence at baseline.

b Relapse was defined as smoking 5 or more cigarettes in 3 consecutive days in the past 2 and 4 months at 2- and 6-month follow-ups, respectively. Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis assumed participants who were lost to follow-up as relapsers or smokers. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) assumed participants who were lost to follow-up as the status of previous follow-up. Complete-case analysis excluded participants who were lost to follow-up.

c Lapse was defined as any incidence of smoking in the past 2 and 4 months at 2- and 6-month follow-ups, respectively.

d Validated abstinence (by ITT) was defined as self-reported abstinence validated by tests of exhaled carbon monoxide (≤4 ppm) and salivary cotinine (≤10 ng/mL).

e P<.01.

f P<.05.
