SE = standard error.

aStepwise adjustments were made hierarchically (age, race, education, employment, income, and cigarettes/d).

bComprised of the following subscales: automaticity, loss of control, craving, and tolerance.

cComprised of the following subscales: affiliative attachment, affective enhancement, cognitive enhancement, cue exposure/associative processes, social/environmental goads, taste, and weight control.
