1ITT analyses are growth models that include data from all participants including those who were not reached for 3 months and/or 6 months follow-up. Effect sizes and p-values reported are those from the cross-level interaction effect between time and group assignment. Effect for full and partial ban is an odds ratio, for exposure to SHS and quit attempts is event rate ratio, and beta for the other outcomes.

2No car excluded from analysis.

3On a scale from 1 = never to 4 = very often.

4 N/A because not assessed at baseline.
