Notes. N = 229. All models covaried for nicotine dependence (Heaviness of Smoking Index) scores and Race. Pain Intensity (NRS) scores were log transformed after adding 1 to the raw value. Pain catastrophizing was dichotomized at ± 30 and dummy coded at “0” and “1”. NRS scores were entered as a continuous variable
