Notes: SD = standard deviation; CI = confidence interval; craving = craving scale, lifetime, with higher values indicating greater craving (range: 0–8); CPD = cigarettes per day, during period of heaviest smoking (range: 1–80); FTND = Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence, lifetime (range: 0–8); b = regression coefficient; p values are reported to allow evaluation of significance, using a p value of .0068 to adjust for multiple testing.
Genotypes GG (n = 351) and CG (n = 264) were combined into one group because means for the phenotypes were virtually the same: craving, GG M = 3.81 (SD = 2.56), CG M = 3.83 (SD = 2.55); CPD, GG M = 24.16 (SD = 16.23), CG M = 24.06 (SD = 15.49); FTND, GG M = 3.48 (SD = 2.55), CG M = 3.48 (SD = 2.37).
Adjusted for demographics: age, sex, ethnicity (immigrant from former Soviet Union status).
