CI, confidence interval; NMR, nicotine metabolite ratio; OR, odds ratio.

aOdds ratios were calculated using unconditional logistic regression models with adjustment for matching factors including age, gender, year of enrollment, and dialect group.

bIn addition to matching factors, odds ratios were adjusted for cigarettes per day, years of smoking and urinary total nicotine equivalents.
