Gender: 1 = Male and 2 = Female; Health = larger scores reflected occurrence of multiple markers of tobacco-related disease; LFCD = Latency to first cigarette of the day taken from Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (Heatherton, Kozlowski, Frecker, & Fagerstrom, 1991); PANAS-NA = Positive and Negative Affect Schedule-Negative Affect Subscale (Watson et al., 1988); BCS = Barriers to Cessation Scale (Macnee et al., 1995); RFS = Reason for Smoking Scale (Ikard et al., 1969).
