FTND item | Association of FTND item with rs3743078 risk factora: OR [95% CI] | Association of total FTND score with rs3743078 risk factorb: Regression coefficient OR [95% CI] |
Smoking just/shortly after getting up in the morningc | 2.14 [1.11, 4.15]* | 0.43 [0.01, 0.85]* |
Difficulty refraining when smoking was not allowed | 2.25 [1.23, 4.14]** | 0.53 [-0.04, 1.10] |

Notes: Categorical cigarettes per day (CPD) is a Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence (FTND) item, but it was not included in this table because indirect effects were evaluated for continuous CPD. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
From logistic regression, adjusting for sex, age, ethnicity.
From linear regression, adjusting for sex, age, and ethnicity, as well as the FTND item.
