AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; FF = full-flavor cigarettes; NDSS = Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale. Bold = significant. Final model multiple logistic regressions with cigarette type, smoking characteristics and sociodemographics predicting nicotine dependence based on the Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale and Time-to-1st-cigarette. Odds ratios represent an increased (>1) or decreased (<1) likelihood of dependence.
