Notes: * p < 0.05; *** p < 0.001; test difference in adjusted percentages between each group and the reference group (—). Logistic regression models controlled for additional factors not shown here, including sampling area, tobacco use and age group. Adj %: model-based adjusted percentages that control for all other factors in the model. AOR: adjusted odds ratio controlling for all other factors in the model. Models based on current and former tobacco users only.
