Percentages for phone surveys are weighted. Three constituents with the highest values for each survey sample in bold. Response scale for perceived harm and discouragement ranged from ‘not at all’ (coded as 1) to ‘a lot’ (coded as 4). For awareness, the median SEs were 2%/3%/1% in adult phone/adol. phone/internet surveys. For perceived harm, the median SEs were 0.10/0.08 in phone/internet surveys. For discouragement, the median SEs were 0.06/0.04 in phone/internet surveys. Perceived harm assessed only for participants aware the constituent was in cigarette smoke. Percentages and means for phone survey were weighted.
