a Values are expressed as mean (standard deviation).

b Household income was converted to year 2000 US dollars using the Consumer Price Index (33).

c Participants were linked to state, county, and city-level smoking ban exposures on the basis of their census tract of residence.

d At baseline, participants were asked about attempts to quit smoking in the past 2 years. At follow-up examinations, quitting attempts since the past examination were assessed (2-year interval for year 7, 3-year interval for year 10, and 5-year intervals for years 15, 20, and 25). Examination years 2 and 5 were not included in this analysis.
