Note: Age-adjusted models control for age; fully-adjusted models control for all measures in Table 1.

Odds ratios from logit regression models predicting current smoking (1=yes, 0=no) (n=900 women, n=715 men).

Incidence rate ratios from zero-truncated negative binomial models predicting number of cigarettes smoked daily last year (n=133 women, n=213 men).
