Note. HR = high school; OR = odds ratio; bolded text identifies ORs that are statistically different (at least p < .05) from reference group.

a

Results are weighted to reflect sampling and selection probability as well as poststratification based on county population (n = 997,429–1,017,345) depending upon the year. Nonweighted samples were: 1412 (cigarette smokers), 219 (cigars), 139 (little cigars), and 177 (multiple product users). For each analyses, multiple usage is not removed, that is, cigar users may also be little cigar or cigarette users and thus may be included in more than one category.

b

User versus nonsmoker (n = 4,924): other product users excluded from each analyses. OR (95% CI).

c

Uses more than one product (cigarette, cigar, or little cigar) versus single product user OR (95% CI).

d

Reference group = 55 years and older.

e

Reference group = Caucasian adults.

f

Reference group = College graduate or higher.

g

Reference group = $75,000 or more.
